[aprssig] Object Names With Spaces Proliferating

[Stephen H. Smith]

While fiddling with calibrating a new UIview map last night, I just 
happened to monitor this stack of SEVEN objects and stations stacked at 
exactly the same location in Orange County, California:

    <http://wa8lmf.net/aprs/Object_Names_With_Spaces.htm>

Note that when multiple symbols appear too close together on a UIview 
map to be selected individually (or in this case at EXACTLY the same 
lat/long), UIview produces the list box showing in the upper center of 
the screen shot when you click on the overlapping stack.  You then click 
on a single line of this list for expanded details.   I clicked on each 
of the seven items at K6SOA individually to produce the displays in the 
screen shot.

Note further that this station seems to be injecting these stations and 
objects directly into the APRS Internet system only, and not over RF.   
I'm not sure what the point of informing the Internet audience (rather 
than RF users) of the existence of these D-Star repeaters is......
