OK, guys: Have at it.  The geo file is changed, and I'm recommending the 
gif for a bunch of reasons, including png reanslation doesn't mask the 
ground clutter well.

For those wondering, the projection is LAT/LON unprojected in more or 
less NAD83.  With the precision they're reporting coordinates of the 
radar sites to, it doesn't matter if it's NAD27 or NAD83...
