The Riverton and Cheyenne offices would get gated, the other two
calls would not.  We still have the "NWS-" and "SKY" restrictions
on NWS gating.  If those strings are not present, we never head off
to our igating code.  The igating code wasn't originally intended to
be used for other purposes, and hasn't been hacked yet to do what
you're after.
