[aprssig] Newbie APRS object question

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

Ideally, you'd just program the local digi to transmit this object direct,
no outbound path.  But since you are doing this from your home, instead of
W1-1, use the callsign of the digi you want to repeat your packet.  Then
only that digi will squawk the object and you'll keep it local.
