[Xastir] WMSRadar and net acquired .gif

[Gerry Creager]

I do the radar mosaic and something's definately off with that.  I've 
been troubleshooting but I don't have an answer.

I'll try a new approach tomorrow or Tuesday for this.

Send me your appropriate RIDGE .geo for MAF.  I'll compare it to what I 
have and see if we can get it better...

Also: Why N0Z?  I prefer N0R for base reflectivity (from a sorta 
professional view).

Anyone want to work with me to make individual Level II sites available? 
  I haven't time to script up the .geo's but can provide the data on 
site image dimensions...

When I adjust the size of the .gif the center of the radar (the ground clutter) moves around as I change the size. I had the ground clutter centered but the edge of a recent storm was real far off.
