[amsat-bb] Re: Pollux in APRS Database

[David Johnson]

Hi Mike,

In principle yes, you might have some packets that other people have
missed.

The problem is that the packets are time-stamped when they go into the
database within a few seconds of actual receipt. (propagation time
across the internet).

So in reality, if there is a delay of more than a couple of minutes it
could cause problems.

Better to decode and publish here for the moment, I think.
