That is certainly a possibility. As I heard it on RF, it would suggest a
digi rather than an IGate. There was one bogus position that placed
VE7HMW-9 about 330 km to the south of his actual position. That could
have been bogus info from the GPS or a packet corrupted after
transmission, would require PASSALL in a TNC or something odd going on
in the IGate.

I've finished my own on-air emergency beacons with "This is a test - NOT
an emergency." embedded in them.
I'll keep watching but will assume emergency beacons from VE7HMW-9 are
bogus.
