Argh,

Was out of town for a bit - sorry I'm just now getting back to this.

The I-gate is mine - least I think most all of it I saw was via my
I-gate. On mine, the I-gate is also my server aprsdcsp.antelope.net -
with MIC-E conversion disabled. Mmm, strongly implies that at least some
of that tracker's data was come'n via another I-gate.

Cool! I'm not thinking too far outside the box then. Glad it's already
on the list. Yea - a status line or some kind of indicator - exactly.
That'd work out quite well.

Thanks Curt!
