[aprssig] AJ3U-5 Sat Packets

Mon Sep 26 17:36:01 EDT 2005

Andrew,
You aren't really getting what these packets are.  They are not position
reports, per say.  These are packets that are requested by the end users so
they will get a message telling them when a satellite is coming up.  These
are messages not positions.
