[aprssig] Possible Medeira to Azores digi for K6RPT-11

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

Ok, now I know where Madeira is and just had an APRS QSO with CU2IE who 
has been gating K6RPT-11 in the Azores.  He is attempting to get a 
Digipeater set up in Madeira which he believes he can receive (if I 
understood the intent correctly).
