         You guessed right, this is from a dumb tracker that I have pressed 
into service only last week, since my HamHUD and associated equipment was 
stolen last March.  It's only temporary, I'm going to try and get another 
HamHUD together.

         The question about the icon on Findu was simply curiosity on my part.
