[Xastir] .geo files for the NWS RIdge Radars

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

While we're at it, first.aprs.net is now able to host a repository of 
maps, with ~146GB available for use.  We can also host the .geo's.

Please use anonymous FTP to log in, and then deposit data in the 
'/incoming' directory. I would appreciate a heads-up e-mail sent 
directly to me so I can effect a timely transfer of the files to the 
appropriate reposing place in /pub, else I'll do it as I have spare time 
and remember: It's not ingrained in long-term memory just yet to check 
daily...
