The only other callsign+SSID combo shown on aprs.fi besides his Xastir
instance is K2MPH-5, which is using the aforementioned IOS app.  There'
aren't any raw packets shown.  Aprs.fi shows the last position report was
in March, so that's why there are no raw packets as they would not be saved
that long.

Michael, if you have sent anything recently from your phone it was not
picked up by the APRSIS, either.
