[OZAPRS] Strange log?

[Steve Sharp]

G'day Gerard, thanks for the explanation, it also cunningly addressed my
unasked question of why my -8 gets duped but not -7 or -9;-)
Another question to all, with my recent upgrade and new callsign - how do I
get a new password to allow access to the servers so I can get aprsi
running again?

I'll look and see about stripping the trailing space from -8.
