Howdy,
I wouldn't call my table 'better' than about anybody elses and I realize I
probably have some incorrect country codes. I also place the various
classified military METAR sites all in Iraq, which isn't right, hehe. I
generally think the RAP list is the best quality, but also use Phillip
Gladestone's wonderful site. http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/
My ingestor alerts me daily to METAR sites with unknown metadata, so I go
searching around after that and try to keep my database updated...
I also attempt to maintain a good list of all SHEF sites, which is an
unmitigated disaster!

So, I have to ask, which one do you think is "better" ?

Good work Daryl, and thanks for sharing it, Pete.
I also wrote a decoder, hosted at https://github.com/mjames-upc/gempak-stations
- which creates a GEMPAK station table from the NCAR / RAL file (
http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/surface/stations.txt ). The new GEMPAK table is
available at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mjames-upc/gempak-stations/master/sfstns.tbl
I updated a number of entries in $GEMTBL/stns/geog.tbl, adding countries that
were not present and updating many country codes to be consistent with the NCAR
/ RAL file. The new GEMPAK geog.tbl is available at:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Unidata/gempak/master/gempak/tables/stns/geog.tbl
both will be included in the next GEMPAK release (7.1.0).
