Very cool!

I added yet another messaging hack last night that schedules delayed
ack's to be transmitted at t+30/60/90 seconds if a repeated message
is seen from a remote station.  I might change that later to
30/60/120 to go with the decaying algorithm.

After some testing this morning I think I'm going to do another
tweak that gets rid of scheduled ack's in the queue that are less
than 30 seconds from each other.  Other than that little problem it
looks like this new scheme is helping to keep messaging going.  If I
had a better path out here on RF it'd make for easier testing.  Such
is life.
