[aprssig] aprs2.net client naming

[John Gorkos]

Thanks for the reply.  Since this is not directly visible on RF, I'm 
going with AB0OO-GW.  My -1 station is the Tx Igate connected downstream 
from it.

On APRS-IS, any alphanumeric SSID of one or 2 characters is accepted by all server software.  These rules are only for verified (valid passcode) "usernames".  For receive-only, you can use any alphanumeric 3-9 characters as receive-only connections cannot send packets to APRS-IS.
