[aprssig] Delayed Position Reports in Mobile situation

[Wes Johnston]

We had a discussion about this on the sig about 2 months ago.  Nothing
came of it b/c the aprs-is people think there's nothing wrong with the
IS, that it must be the IGATE station's ISP holding the packet.  We had
one station in our area who was running UI-view and would deliver
packets anywhere from 60secs to 10 minutes late.  The guy was connected
to montana.aprs.net via AOL via Bellsouth DSL lines.  The solution for
us was that the guy moved to atlanta, out of our area.  I sure wish we
could find this problem.  Heck, I even wrote a script to query findu for
position reports and match up the late reports and give you the time
differential.
