[Xastir-Dev] US radar composite available

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

"We are experiencing technical difficulties..."

I've started seeing some interesting slowdowns on the site that writes 
the data to disk suggesting it's trying to wade thru and pseudo-index 
all the entries.

The black image is what happens when the script discovers that 'pqact' 
took 2 hours to get around to writing the files and they're too old to use.

We're working with Unidata on a set of solutions, but it may end up 
being a new computer...

Sorry for the inconvenience.
