What is the HOTG net, never heard of it?

As the Thursday HOTG net has gained in popularity, we've
uncovered some interesting things in the APRS world, including
some broken IGate implementations.
I think I'll be making an update to the ANSRVR to ignore
redundant CQ messages and only process the first one.?? That way
any messaging station that sends to a group, but doesn't receive
back the ack, won't flood the current members with redundant
messages for each of their retries.?? ANSRVR knows that it has
already sent out that message, and will still ack the retry, but
it won't send them out redundantly.
Hopefully I'll get that done before next Thursday's net ramps up!

Lynn,?
This all makes sense and yes this is all screen shots?from
the W2CXM instance.?
Here is the filter that is set up to gate from IS to RF
a/42.6295/-076.7045/42.2555/-076.23833
-b/KD2EAT/N2PYI-13/KC2DYR -s//a&/D?
I did not have the "Log All" checked so there are no log
files. This has been changed, as has the scroller setting you
suggested.?
Sounds like everything is WAD and I just never happened to
notice it before.?

Ok, I gather those screen shots are from W2CXM.?? Is the
FilterTest that is shown there configured to gate the
filtered packets from -IS to RF?
Well, on looking at CT1END-2's messages at (),
it doesn't matter.?? The posit from CT1END-2 was likely
supposed to go out to RF in your local.? I suspect, but
haven't researched enough to prove, that someone in
W2CXM's RF footprint checked in to the ANSRVR HOTG
Thursday check-in net.?? And for the next 12 hours, all
further checkins to that net would generate both a message
to that station as well as a posit packet from the station
that checked in to the net as CT1END-2 definitely did.
If you have Enables / Ports / Log All checked, then you
should have some *.PKT files in the directory from which
W2CXM runs.?? The most recent file will contain all of
your station's RF traffic.? In there, you will likely see
the CQ HOTG being sent from some RF station to ANSRVR and
ANSRVR's response to that station indicating how many
copies of that check-in message were transmitted.
And from that point forward, you will likely see other
N:HOTG messages addressed to that station followed
sometime later by posit packets of the sources of those
messages, of which I suspect CT1END-2 was one.
Oh, and these so-called "Courtesy Posits" after the
messages won't show up in your FilterTest, but will be in
both Transmit and the *.PKT file if you have it enabled.??
They would also appear (IIRC) in one of the IGate* trace
logs.
Let me know if this matches what you see in W2CXM's
logs.? If so, it is all WAD - Working As Designed.

Hey all,
While driving home tonight I was seeing (on my
D710) IS stations being gated to RF that shouldn't
have been that indicated they were TCPIP?First,
and W2CXM Last, normally this indicates that W2CXM
is gating them that are well outside my area
filter This prompted me to take a look at the
station?W2CXM and restart it. This happened
between 4 and 5pm Eastern. When I look at the Raw
data on
()
I"m not seeing what I saw on my radio face, which
is odd....?
First thing I noticed?while looking at the
instance is that while my scroller is set to RF
Only it is giving me stations that are IS
Stations.?
I've got my trace logs up and running for
capture, right now they seem to be behaving
themselves. Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Thanks for any insight
