[Xastir] Topographic Maps for Tennessee ?

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

I'll be out of town for the weekend, and hopefully without internet 
access.  I can check on the State Plane system for TN, if someone will 
remind me when I get back.  Also, if you'll ping REAL hard, I'll call my 
USGS Mapping Representative and get her to look into whether there's 
other data hidden away.
