[OZAPRS] HF Beacon Rate

[Ray Wells]

Just keep in mind that not all APRS stations are exclusively APRS, some 
run many other services as well - BBS, Node, etc. With that in mind, 
full compliance with SSID useage plans is not always possible. At last 
count I use 8 SSID's that are not APRS related. I'm sure I'm not alone 
in this.
