Notes:
Some Canadian coordinates shifted further south than
the geographical centre of provinces and territories,
because the majority of population is located there.
US locations chosen as centre of circle (size noted)
at that location in attempt to cover most of that
call area ... but this is very difficult to do ...
especially when you need to cover from Seattle WA
to Tucson AZ.
I have not fooled around with the source files ...
or the conversion utilities (other than to download
updates and update the files on my system) ...
but maybe someone can take the next step?
