I got corrected on this.  We can send all the objects/items we want
but just have to identify our own transmitter every 10 minutes.

If we're sending out things that look like real stations, then we
have to fit the object/item name into a 6-character callsign field,
plus we have to identify our transmitter every 10 minutes.  We don't
actually have to add the callsign into the comment field on the
packet, but it would probably be good practice to do so.
