Hello Bent,
Do you at least share the footprint with the other station?
I suspect that the operator had the PL tone ON so his packets were being repeated through the FM repeater. I think that would make the packet look like it came directly to your station, without a path.
I understand that packet operators should turn their PL tone OFF in order to prevent this.
Congratulations to Nader for uploading three messages successfully! I am interested in his Wisp/MSPE TNC settings. For example, what the Retries time was set to, TxDelay, etc.

Hi
I have several times observed some oddly addressed frames from HO-68 as witnessed by this frame dump from this morning (conf http://www.amsat.dk/oz7sat_kiss/xw1/KISS-Sun_Jan_03_06_08_00_UTC_2010.html):
===== RR BJ1SA-12 -> UA9UIZ* N(R)=0 P/F:1 UI BJ1SA-12 -> BBSTAT* P/F:0 PID: F0 Open BJ1SA-12:1
RR BJ1SA-12 -> UA9UIZ* N(R)=0 P/F:1 DISC BJ1SA-12 -> UA9UIZ* P/F:1 DM UA9UIZ* -> BJ1SA-12 P/F:1 <====== UI BJ1SA-12 -> BBSTAT* P/F:0 PID: F0 Open BJ1SA-12:0
UI BJ1SA-12 -> BBSTAT* P/F:0 PID: F0 Open BJ1SA-12:0 ... ======
The odd one is the one I have marked. It appears to sent from UA9UIZ which means that I should have received it directly from UA9UIZ. This is very, very unlikely as UA9UIZ is located some 4500 km from here according to http://da.aprs.fi/?call=UA9UIZ.
Have any of you observed something similar?
