KD5XB-11 shows a trail when I download the last 120 hours, just pulled
it in on Xastir.

So, we now know that the station you are fetching data for exists, and
has track information that covers a significant distance, which is
able to be grabbed and displayed by Xastir for at least one other
person.

What callsign do you use for your Xastir client? It shouldn't make a
difference, and I am fairly certain that I have pulled in historical
data for VE6SRV-15 on an instance of Xastir running as VE6SRV-15, but
lets double check.

What zoom level were you at? If you were zoomed out far enough, the
trail may have appeared to all be on one spot. If you were zoomed in
real close, you might have missed the trail being plotted out of view,
and assumed that it was plotting on your current location.
