[aprssig] Aprs data mirroring

[Patrick]

Perhaps my wording conveyed things differently than meant.  My primary
system deals with tracking and logistics of stations and the idea would be
to also feed some of that information into aprs so that the hams who are
also assisting with events could have the locations of these stations
available to them from a common client.  Cuts down on having two sets of
hardware required.  Conceptually it is no different then me injecting
position reports from an aprs client on a cell phone when you get right
down to it, since it is still authenticating with a valid call sign, and
the data is being shared publically.
