I'm sorry to hear that... I asked the NWS for a list of active
stations, and was directed to this page:

  http://tgsv5.nws.noaa.gov/oso/site.shtml

There I downloaded a list of all stations that have an ICAO - there's
6257 stations in that list, but I'm still missing information about
187 stations!

It's a bit strange: the list has been updated last week and it says
that all stations that have a location identifier assigned by the ICAO
(I now know that ICAO is an abbreviation for International Civil
Aviation Organization, see www.icao.int).
