That's right.

I think only the first field is the relevant identifier because the source of data is hosted on noaa.gov in html files which identify with just that ICAO code (e.g.: "EDDB.html"). I checked that a couple of years ago. Also, in stations.dat there are many entries which only have "--;---;" in field two and three. And that doesn't seem to be the reason that many entries are not shown in the GUI dialog of kweather because most of those have these WMO IDs. (For the reader's convenience, it's: World Meteorological Organization). > The important identifiers are probably the first three slots.

I think the entry for Berlin-Schönefeld is good as it is. It works after I applied deloptes' idea to edit .trinity/share/config/weather_panelappletrc which contains the variable which instructs kweather to show the data reported of that particular weather station.
