[aprssig] APRS-WSPR APRS from anywhere!

[Robert Bruninga]

Good point.  APRS WSPR would be like most APRS bulletins and status..
Directed to ALL.
But I think I will work on a simply possible QSO token.  A sender asking
for a reply would include a QSO token in his message and then the resposner
could use that token instead of a full call.
