[aprssig] New -N Paradigm Works!

[Wes Johnston]

Please don't run WIDE1-1 in any position other than the first element of a path.  WIDE1-1 has been assigned to all home stations, and if you use it in a 2nd or 3rd position it will cause all home stations to transmit all at the same time... ordinarily, you just want to bounce off a home station on the first hop then _only_ have the local digipeater "bounce" you.
