[aprssig] Why Not "Gate in Vicinity"

[Steve Noskowicz]

Georg,

  Looking @ his messages, he is sending them to DH5FB-9 who has answered.   

  Stations sending messages to him that don't appear to be answered are:
VE4VZ, DL7EB, IZ2DAQ.

[If anyone looks and doesn't know, German 'Fahrt' is 'Journey' or 'Trip']
