Reply to @ptomblin: This is correct. "KQ" ICAOs are reserved for DoD use. You'll see KQs for the US weather stations in Iraq, Afghanistan, anywhere the US is stationed overseas. "EQ" is the NATO equivalent. In the case of KQTX, that's the weather station at Kirkuk. ORKK is the airport ICAO. Observations from ORKK are from the Iraqis whereas observations from KQTX are from the Americans.

Reply to @thesis: Look what it says on the "KQ" header: "(METAR weather station sites operated by the U.S. Department of Defense)"
In other words, "KQTX" isn't the airport, it's the weather station.
