Minor nit.  first.aprs.net is a Core server.  I don't know what Tier2 
has up these days.  I understood they were standing up more of their 
"Tier2 Core" servers but I just don't know.

As I mentioned earlier, I'll try to get either shapefiles, or a valid 
watches/warnings graphic up similar to the radar I provide.
