I don't see the issue with this. APRS is designed for local situational
awareness. I'd hope that each local APRS area has a station beaconing a gob
of local points of interest, and static points of interest are certainly
unimportant enough that I'd hope for them to all be dumped as a single
packet blast on the air.
