[aprssig] Another Junk ISS Object on the APRS-IS

[Greg D]

So, I think your question is - if the other stations (not ISS) are 
stations that are hearing the ISS, how come they are doing so outside of 
the ISS footprint? Yeah, good question.

As the ISS passed over Hawaii a short time ago, I saw a number of 
stations pop up in that vicinity. After it passed, I was still seeing 
ISS_1808.
