That's what I thought.

Thanks for filling in the gaps.  I remembered the filename has nws in
it, but that was all...

I've got a rocket tracking application that works like a remote GPS.
I've got a perl script that reads GPS data, makes APRS packets out of
it, and feeds that to xastir over the server port.  I'm trying to get
this data on the air so I can use my D7 as a handheld ground station.
