Here are comment lines from xastir/src/igate.c.  They might give you
more hints as to what is going on in your tests:


// If we made it to this point, the packet is from an authorized net
// user (no TCPXX found in the path), or the callsign has been
// authorized via the nws-stations.txt file (whether or not TCPXX
// was found in the path).
//
// Found in file: Gate always
//
// Not found:     Gate if TCPXX not in path -AND- if destination
//                station was heard in last hour on RF -AND- if
//                source station was NOT heard in last hour on RF.
