[aprssig] "station which heard ... directly on the radio"

[Kristoff Bonne]

Hi All,


yesterday and today, I have been experimenting with the project to use a 
20 dollar RTL DAB/DVB-T dongle as SDR radio for a RX-only igate.

Now, looking at my page on aprs.fi (http://aprs.fi/info/ON1ARF-2) I see 
this:
Stations heard directly by ON1ARF-2 –
(...)
and then some stations, like this one:
ON4NS-9 1 2013-05-19 12:08:31 2013-05-19 12:08:31 JO11NB > JO11LF 	19.6 
km 148° 	2013-05-19 12:08:31

I did find this pretty odd so I looked in the "raw messages" for this 
station:
2013-05-19 12:08:32 CEST: 
ON4NS-9>UQPTY6,ON7EQ,ON0OST,qAR,ON1ARF-2:`y_.oR9>/`"4F}_"

This does not look to be a "heard directly". It has been digipeated 
twice before reaching my node.


So am I missing something here? Or is this a bug?
