Yup, I think I'll chalk it up to noise. Thanks all.

The packet modems relay on a CRC checksum of the packets to validate the data received as a good packet.
In some situations, like yours when a modem is listening a long time, the noise can "forge" a "good" packet. This is a statistically proved fact, the CRC is not as strong as we wish for this task.
I'm not saying that this is a noise forged packet, but it's a possibility.

I left the rig and packet software running today while I was at work. I was listening to the LightSail beacon on 437.435 MHz. I had one entry on the screen when I got home:
1: Fm V-3 to 70-9 Via uH, , , -6 <RR P/F R5>[07:25:21]
No idea what it means, not sure if it was LightSail or not. Posted as an FYI. Curious to know what it might be.
