[aprssig] APRS Voice Alert

[AE5PL Lists]

The key words were "It is a fact".  I know a lot of people using Icom
dual-band radios with trackers that can make use of Voice Alert.  Mind
you, I was not commenting on the whether or not Voice Alert is of value.
I am simply questioning the source of Bob's "facts".
