Packet was received from another server or generated by this
server. The latter case would be for a beacon generated by
the server. Due to the virtual nature of APRS-IS, use of
beacon packets by servers is strongly discouraged. The
callSSID following the qAS is the login or IP address of the
first identifiable server (see algorithm).</li>
</ul>

Because the packet didn't come from RF (the TCPIP* in the path),
the APRS-IS server believes that VK4TEC (the authenticated
callsign of the APRS-IS connection login) is a server servicing
other stations. Hence the qAS added to the packet.<br>
<br>
At least, that's my non-authoritative analysis of this behavior.<br>
