[aprssig] Object DENNI_ato Cannot Be Seen on RF Path

[Robbie - WA9INF]

Geoffrey,

I am guessing you and the others in your area of concern have not gotten 
together and designated anyone to I-Gate from the APRS-IS objects 
considered to be of interest??

If no one in your area is gating these items of interest, do it and if 
no one complains about it, there you go!

There has to be coordination by the APRS communities in all areas to 
make all this come together.. Divided we fall... United we have a 
community service for all....
