At this time, but changing in a week or so, the APRS-IS Core systems do
not require authentication. Tier2 servers, for the most part have gone
to requiring it. The Core is going to it. The reason the Core hasn't
gone there so far is to allow "just a little more" transition time for
the CWOP users, often less tech-savvy than hams, to learn they've gotta
migrate to the new CWOP servers (running similar javAPRSsrvr code.

'authentacate' myself with my callsign and passcode. I thought that was

critical piece of information?

"Disallow unauthenticated" is an option in the javAPRSSrvr software
(the software behind the APRS-IS). Configuration of this option is
left to the discretion of individual server owners, so your results
may vary by server. For most servers, I expect you'll need to enter
your passcode to get any data.
