[aprssig] APRS Secret Message Codes

[Bill Vodall WA7NWP]

APRS messaging on the D700 is a bit limited but entirely usable with the 
microphone.  However, when in motion it's awkward at the best.  Often 
I'm finding myself in contact with other folks in a situation more 
workable for sending text.  So they send complete one liners and I'm 
replying with quickies.

Then last weekend I learned that it's fairly easy (push button, twist 
knob, push button) to send a one letter message from the front panel. 
The first two codes, 0 for no and 1 for yes, were pretty straight 
forward.  A bit of beer drinking led to the following list.   Maybe it's 
something we can all standardize on.  Any suggestions or comments?
