[aprssig] WLNK-1 via aprs-is?

[Max Harper]

About 2 months ago I was monitoring my weather station which sends its data via RF.  I was using UI-View32 connected to the APRS-IS using a filter to only show me my weather station, nothing else. It was not setup to be a digi or an Igate and did not have a TNC connected. After being connected for a few hours I would start getting a steady stream of packets from the Winlink system. Hundreds and hundreds of them. If I disconnected and reconnected it would stop for awhile.  Looking at a few of the packets I saw callsigns from all over the United States. I was busy at the time and didn't report it, I should have. It may not be as great as some would like to think. I know it really messed me up trying to monitor my weather station.
