[Xastir] XASTIR and RF PLOTs

[Andrew Rich]

So my log looks like this

VK4HAB-9>RW36W1,VK4GME-3*,WIDE,WIDE:`PI\m+i>/"4+}

I should create a random object ?

looking for my spec

I know it is also mean and nasty, but what you can also do is create a
phantom callsign

(random number)>RW36W1,VK4GME-3*,WIDE,WIDE:`PI\m+i>/"4+}

this stop xastir deleting previous xxxxx icons

This last is what I've done before.  Create a separate object for
each position in Base-91 compressed mode so that all positions could
be represented.  Yea, it makes a lot of objects, but it does give
you a good picture of where stations get heard.  I didn't do it at
the time but one could change the name of the object to include the
first digi, or add it to a comment.
