I've got a few more samples too:

That last one is properly handled.

That's an astute observation. I've already sent Casey an email about
the delayed packets and I believe he reset UI-View and restarted the
TNC remotely. He'll be at the site tomorrow if anything more needs to
be done.

The dupetime is 30 (default?). If you look at my message traffic
today, you'll see that I changed the digipeating rules. Before
2009-10-27 20:20:10 UTC, the hoplimit was 3, so that's why it was
digipeating WIDE6-3. I changed the settings to quiet BALDI down a bit.
It sits very high above a dense APRS area and doesn't need to be
passing 3-hop packets (WA7-7 is a special case).

Another BALDI out there? There's a back-story there. N7OEP used to
operate a BALDI digipeater from the next building over, but the
digipeater has gone down for multiple times for an extended period.
One time it was an antenna problem and as soon as our backup BALDI
went on the air, original BALDI started getting out to the world. The
last time it went down, he did not fix it. We haven't heard it. Maybe
for some reason old BALDI is alive again and feebly digipeating on
WIDE1-1?
