[aprssig] Duplicates evident on aprs.fi

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

APRSISCE/32 doesn't remove trailing spaces.  It's more likely the TNC 
that is stripping them before delivering them to the client.

What IGate is it and what other IGates are in the area?  And do you know 
what TNCs are in use at the one that preserves and the one that strips 
the spaces?
