Leave Xastir long enough for it to get a posit from those stations
(if they're sending position info, they might not be), and then
Xastir will be able to compute the distance to them and filter them
out.  Until then, you get them.  We don't know where stations are
unless they tell us.

You should be able to do that via the filtered internet feeds.  No
use re-inventing the wheel if we don't have to.  If that's not
adequate, let us know why.
