[aprssig] N5RJV Needs assistance

Sheesh! I wish I'd known about this last night. I heard that callsign last night while I was driving home through the DC area. I wonder if I could pull timestamps from my D710 packet log and compare them with my course recording on aprs.fi.

Is that why I saw you out mobile last night, Bob?

N5RJV has been heard by the following digipeaters according to raw RF
received packets from various IGates:

KE4NYV-2
N3KNT-1

Not a whole lot to go on without additional ears on the ground in the area.

And it may be all for naught if the station doesn't come back on the air.
