Another method is to STOP all interfaces, clear all stations, then
suck in that one station's track from findu.com.  You can do this in
120 hour blocks, 'cuz that's what findu supports.

If the INET feeds didn't capture all of the data you needed due to
the packets not getting to an igate, yet another method is:

Turn on TNC logging.  After receiving the data, grep for the
callsign in the log files and pipe the data to a new file.  Turn off
interfaces in Xastir, clear all stations, then suck in that log
file.

    cd ~/.xastir/logs
    grep -i "WE7U-12" tnc3.log > temp.log
    grep -i "WE7U-12" tnc2.log >> temp.log
    grep -i "WE7U-12" tnc1.log >> temp.log
    grep -i "WE7U-12" tnc.log  >> temp.log

The data will be in ~/.xastir/logs/temp.log in the same order as
originally received.
