There is no way to Overlay an image on top of BND in GEMPAK. It is possible to create a BND graphic as a GIF image using the radar projection etc, and create a separate GOF file of the radar image for the same area, and then use commonly available image manipulation programs to graphically add the images where the radar image is not black.
