 This is an RX Only I-Gate, If you get in trouble by Digipeating APRS packets over HF, It's not my fault.. You've gone and purposely added that to your config

+Inside of the HF-Rig_RX-Only directory is a list of HF I-Gates around VK and ZL with their respective frequencies and locations along with APRS.fi links and if they're `FULLTIME` or `OFF-AIR` , This is a small list and I'll add further active I-Gates to it if people email me at webmaster[at]whisper[dot]cat
