[aprssig] HF APRS igates on fldigi

[Joe Bennett]

Not sure about the Mic-E issue. It is a valid Mic-E frame on 2 meters. I suspect it is something with how FLDIGI is handling the frame. 

I'll have to look further into the WIDE2-2 path. Looks like Xastir is defaulting to WIDE2-2 even when I leave the path(s) blank. I changed it to ECHO for the time being. 

I heard you once this evening via packet. No other digital stations heard here otherwise. Few folks running phone on the channel...
