Unfortunately, under lift conditions we see it on RF here in EI.  If  
I happen to be on and see it (we have little enough traffic that I  
can actually watch the channel), I try education.  It works most of  
the time.  UIDIGI with the WIDEN-N settings and the software digi's/ 
igates running javAPRS are able to deal with it  with relatively  
little impact on the network here.

Then again, we are in a small country, and only have 3 really high,  
wide coverage digis, and relatively few WIDE1-1 (2) types at the  
moment, giving coverage over most of the country.  And, relatively  
few users.

I could make a disparaging comment, but I will resist :)
