[aprssig] Danger Will Robinson!

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

After reading all of this, I have to ask.... Why are we doing this?  What's
wrong with letting the echolink operator send his own ID onto 144.39 with
his own TNC?   As much as I like neat / cool things, this seems like we are
going around our elbow to get to our nose.
