Nobody has created a dbfawk for the "hz" files.  These are "High Seas Zones"
and may not even be used for NWS alerts that come over APRS-IS.

You're zoomed out so far that Xastir has had an issue doing a conversion 
straddling 180 degrees longitude.  It's a warning, ignore it.

Your "w" county file is apparently a version that is in between the versions
we used to generate the older "nwsw_ddmmyy.dbfawk" and current 
"nwsw_ddmmyy_09.dbfawk" files, and has an incompatible signature.  The newset 
versions on the NWS web site are w_07my09 and w_15jl09.  Try downloading a new 
set and this should go away.

The rest of your lines are duplicates of those above, and have the same
cause.
