output_igate_rf() is the function in igate.c that gates messages/ack's/nak's to
RF.
output_nws_igate_rf is the function which gates weather alerts to RF.
Looking at db.c, output_igate_rf() is called for ACK, REJ, other message
w/linenumber, and in the decode_info_field() function it also tries to gate in
this instance:
// Attempt to gate to RF only if the following conditions are

// *) Not my exact callsign.
// *) Packet was from the INET, not local RF
// *) The "from" call matches a line in data/nws-stations.txt,

In db.c there's a specific check for "BLN". If it finds that it calls
bulletin_data_add() and decides that it is done processing, so bulletins do not have a
chance to be igated even if they are listed in the nws-stations.txt file. Sorry!
We could change that section to be more like the "other message w/linenumber" section,
attempting to gate the packets if "BLN" is in the nws-stations.txt file. I'm not clear
yet whether that would be a good idea.
