[aprssig] HF noise measuring campaign reports via APRS

Mon Sep 17 03:54:41 UTC 2012

By the way, a noticeable number of stations do seem to transmit 
floating-point values in telemetry. Our perl parser currently accepts 
them, I wonder how others treat them?

The 0...255 requirement seems to be designed for 8-bit decoders, I wonder 
if there are any of those around.
