[aprssig] APRS Google Earth KML and filter

[Michael J. Wolthuis]

I am trying to use the APRS Google Earth overlay to track a single 
station.  So I connect it into the National APRS via first.aprs.net with 
a filter of b/kb8zgl which should only pass me data from kb8zgl, but it 
keeps saying:

java.net.SocketException: Socket Closed

and then it disconnects and reconnects to the igate.

anyone have any ideas?  The java file is running on CentOS.
