[aprssig] Free development tools for the OpenTracker

[hasan schiers]

Tnx for finding it Curt!
Inevitable that somethings like this will happen from time to time.
The list of other such events is long and distinguished for each of the aprs

No biggie...it sure was a shock, though, and really appreciate you getting 
on top of it so quickly.
