[Xastir] Winlink stations on APRS-IS

[Eric Germann]

Not sure how legal it is, but I use N1ICS-W1 and N1ICS-W2 for the VHF and
UHF Telpacs I run.

On another note, our local club is building a weathernet on 145.050. 
What's the process when you exceed 15 stations?  Right now they're W8FY-1
to W8FY-11 but they will soon go past 15 when we deploy the new hardware.

Thoughts?  How do others deal with it?
