It looks correct to me.  What Xastir did as it igated the packet was
add ",KI4HDU-0,I" to the end of the header.  That's the igate
injection ID.  The server upstream from Xastir changed that to
",qAo,KI4HDU-0", so you can determine from the qAo code what sort of
system injected the packet into the internet stream.

The RELAY substitution would only happen on RF, not on the INET.
