[aprssig] Help explaining packets

[Dennis Hudson]

While we're picking on Ken here, could you all lower your paths down  
there? You are QRMing us in Upstate and and Northern NY with WIDE3  
paths.

We recommend using single or 2 hop maximum for igates. There is an  
iGate for every high digi from here to you so 2 hops are not necessary.
