Hi Daryl,

I love METAR site hunting ... according to 
https://www.pwsweather.com/station/TAH, this looks to be a site in Vanuatu. The 
observations look to be consistent with a tropical South Pacific island locale.

Best regards,

Kevin

Well Howdy,

My METAR ingest noticed the addition of KTAH, found in this truncated-by-me 
collective

SAUS70 KWBC 021218 RRE
METAR
KTAH 021215Z AUTO 06017G23KT 030V090 10SM FEW032 28/21 A2990 RMK
      A01=

Strangely, the only hit on google for this site is here:

https://simfly.io/marketplace/salome-airport-2/details

This site is not found in the most recent FAA AWOS database

https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/aero_data/NASR_Subscription/

Anybody know what is up with this identifier?
