[aprssig] Cleaning up the Global APRS Satellite ground station network?- New Symbol

[spam8mybrain]

So, we need to fix the various I-gate client programs. Which client programs already have sat-gate mode as an option? I know I haven't added it to my program yet, but could do so easily if there was any interest.

But aprsc is an -IS server only. It can't be used as an I-gate in any context.

There is a simpler method. Simply delay any directly heard packets 15 seconds when operating in satgate mode. If a local station successfully digipeats, whether through you or through another satgate, then the digipeated packet will make it to ariss.net before the directly heard packet. Putting this into APRSC would make it useable as a satgate everywhere.
