[aprssig] Received packet question

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

It would be extremely helpful to know the station that originated the 
packets in question.  I suspect, but cannot be sure, that the 457 is 
simply what that station is supplying as the toCall or Application 
Identifier (http://www.aprs.org/aprs11/tocalls.txt).  This is a 
non-standard toCall, but someone might be trying to run it as an AltNet.

My APRSIS32 full feed filtered to AltNet 457 shows three stations: COML, 
N9TB-10, and WB9NTO, but they are so geographically dispersed as to 
appear that it's more a mistake than intentional.



The APRS-IS packet path says that the station is directly injecting his 
own packets to APRS-IS (the TCPIP*) and is connected to the FIRST core 
server.

The qAC means "Packet was received from the client directly via a 
verified connection (FROMCALL=login). The callSSID following the qAC is 
the server's callsign-SSID." (http://www.aprs-is.net/q.aspx).
