Ah, that is good proper use of that field in the digipeater
beacon.

I guess I did not have my HT on long enough to pick up enough
packets to see that.  It seems that my HT filled with a lot of
digipeaters and all were W4.  But this makes sense.  NM is a big
state and by definition there will be a lot more distant digis
that show up then the central one.
