[Xastir] New England feed down?

[Steve Friis]

Thanks Tom. I have changed to this server/port after reading what is 
said on that server's web page. I appreciate your help. BYW, I see NO 
difference in what is seen or heard from in my neighborhood verses the 
wider one that is recomended in the startup instruction set.

Great Job you guys.
