[Xastir] wms radar

[Richard Polivka, N6NKO]

Contrary to previously published reports to the contrary, Gerry WILL 
take vacations.

This just points out to the lack of redundancy in systems and their 
presentations. AFAIK, there is no redundancy for WXSVR or Gerry's 
servers (direct copy).

If you look back in the email archives, there was a string of emails 
concerning using the NOAA RIDGE system. A couple of us came up with the 
necessary .geo files to use the radars, both local, regional, or 
nationwide. I keep several .geo's programmed up and switch to a 
different feed when there are issues.

I am waiting to see if the NWS posts the upgraded radar images for use 
from the NEXRAD upgrades.

73 from 807,

Richard, N6NKO
