comment How to conflate terrain data?
If you go to 128.03982 W, 54.39992 N on the Geobase viewer, you'll see roughly what I'm looking at: geobase.ca/geobase/en/…

comment How to conflate terrain data?
Yes, I know this is a hard question. That's why I asked. It turns out that the metadata report that went along with this project stated the wrong UTM zone, so while that particular problem is solved for me, the general solution isn't - can terrain matching be done at all?

It's British Columbia — it's all rivers and well-shaped hills ;-) The source data are likely from NRCan's free Geobase terrain, but translated to UTM.

comment Steps to creating a GeoTIFF
The TIFF files produced in QGis's georeferencer are GeoTiffs. It also generates a world file as a belt-and-braces way of ensuring that the metadata is as portable as possible.

comment How to create an Azimuthal Equidistant map for long-distance radio?
Thanks. I can already calculate azimuth and geodesic distance with geod, which is part of PROJ.4: echo 'lat1 long1 lat2 long2'| geod +ellps=WGS84 -f "%.3f" -p -I +units=m
