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.

This is still not correct. The center is much to far south and the image
is the right shape but not as big as it needs to be. Maybe I don't
understand what I am doing here. Where can I get info on .geo files and
how they work?

1. Glad I finally found and fixed that bug. I still don't know how it
got in there... I really compulsed that system when I first did it, and
there's no indication in the .wld file that I changed it (I document
things like that...).
2. I suspect the data are a little off for the MAF radar...Try this for
a .geo for it:
