[aprssig] Timestamp Questions

[Rud Merriam]

Lynn - Yes, I have the 101 doc and just totally missed the mention of 
zulu in the description of 'h' time. Then, since I was buried int 
timestamps, forgot that messages don't have them.

Guido - thanks, I have been looking at the FI raw. I captured a file of 
messages using telnet, also.
