I can't get much more info today but I'll ask the Radar Operations
Center, tomorrow, to confirm the coordinates of the station. I created
that .geo based on the range from the one you were working off of
before, and the site coordinates I have from their files.
I will look again to make sure I didn't fat-finger something, but I am
not real comfortable with the data the RIDGE project creates. I've had
some issues in the past with georegistration of their images. That is
one reason I do my own radar imagery.
