[OZAPRS] Foundation licences

[Warren_Brown]

Hi Gerard,

The 7 letter callsign goes makes it onto the screen as their transmission is
coming out of an IGATE not direct to RF.
When stations are transmitted by an IGATE their beacon is a "third party"
transmission so all of the information is in the payload which only need to
be ascii characters, whilst the header must meet the AX25 spec's.
These beacons will have TCPIP in the path.
