[aprssig] ALOHA Circle on findU and/or APRSWorld

[Robbie - WA9INF]

Brian,

Not sure if this helps, but Ui-View32 has an addon module called Ui-Path 
Analyzer which displays a line from each digipeater observed from a 
station, and logs this information for display...

If nothing else, its great to observe the activity, <g>

I am presently running it and can be seen at
