[McIDAS #UKN-727350]: Surface station database for contouring METAR parameters....where is it?

Greetings,

I believe the file you are looking for is ~/data/towns.txt.  Station IDs aren't 
listed there, but K1DN is for Max, ND which is listed there.  There are also 
SFD.STN, SFP.STN and ZFP.STN in that data directory, but K1DN isn't in those 
and that isn't where coordinates are defined, so I think towns.txt is the thing 
to try.

Best,

Cheers,
