There is no email address listed for that call sign on qrz.

If you have an address for him, could you drop him a note?  wxsvr.net is not
browseable.

I found a clash between what makeMultiline does for longitude offsets and how
xastir treats them.  Xastir's comments indicate that positive offsets mean
the point is west of the reference point, but makeMultiline did it the other
way.  I'm pretty sure that when I wrote makeMultiline I did it referencing
the wxsvr.net stuff directly, but now I can't check.  Of course, I did all
my testing of makeMultiline on symmetric area objects, so never noticed the
mismatch.
