Yea.  It spits out the stored stuff from memory since you started
Xastir.

Because I wrote the spit-out-the-stored stuff later, and didn't like
the 2-line format.

My vote too.  I haven't gone back to work on that part of the code.
Any of the other developers are welcome to hack there too!  I'm just
one of many.

This is because you haven't received a posit for those stations yet,
so the "how far away from me are they?" routine returns 0.0 miles.
Once you receive a posit from them, and they're past 250 miles, they
won't show up anymore.
