[aprssig] DXCluster to APRS-RF

[Charles Doughtie]

FWIW  I use a PO box because it is a more secure way
to receive mail than a box on the street. I am not
hiding anything from anyone. I grew up in a small
town where there was no city delivery, only PO
boxes. There were no street signs and no one knew
the street names other than for property deeds, etc.
