[A.J. Farmer]

In the 802.11 "Wi-Fi" world, SSID stands for  "service set identifier".  It
is used to distinguish between wireless networks.  I assume the acronym is
the same for APRS/Packet and it distiguishes between nodes with the same
callsign.  This way you can operate more than one station (node) on the APRS
network under the same callsign while still keeping them unique.

 What does "SSID's" stand for?    What does it do?

The thing about using SSIDs is that you never know if they actually mean
anything, so it's still a guessing game.  I say just use them as secondary
station identifiers and carry other information elsewhere.
