[aprssig] The final word: W0APR

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

Jim, I appreciate your frustration in this whole matter, and I am glad you
have prevailed (truely).  That said, this really is dirty laundry and not on
topic for APRS.  This would be more on topic on one of the QRZ forums or
other general ham radio forums.

73's OM
