[aprssig] Tier 2 Routing Question - Fixed

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

It seems that the correction has been accomplished.  At least, the 
packets that I was looking for between aprs2 and the core are now being 
seen at both.  Thanks to whoever accomplished the fix!  And especially 
to all those maintaining the APRS-IS backbone, both core and tier2.  
Those of us out at the client side couldn't do it without you!
