[aprssig] smart IGates

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

You shouldn't IMHO.  Even though the APRS-IS isn't regulated by the FCC, 
those of us that run properly configured IGates (read: bi-directional) 
are trusting that ALL sources into the APRS-IS is coming from licensed 
amateurs.  Without that assurance, more IGates will be de-commissioned 
and/or transmitters disabled seriously crippling the global messaging 
feature of APRS-IS.

A technician's license isn't that hard to qualify for, and with it comes 
the identifiable responsibility that the APRS feeds need to have.
