Hi Russ,

This had not been active for over a year.  I didn't think it was
important given the availability of the 1 km composite, so I didn't
work on reactivation until yesterday when I got tired of the HUGE
overhead experienced in IDV/McV for the 1 km images.  The 6 km ones
load nice and fast, and one can put up long loops without bogging
down IDV/McV.  I reactivated the 10 km RCM composites just because
I could :-)

Very cool!  I especially like the transparency of the echos so that the
location labels can be read as they are crossed.

Cheers,

Tom
