[arm-allstar] Echolink call sign issue

[LaRoy McCann]

Ok, I guess I have been working way too much lately!!!!
I sure thought the stats server showed the callsign.  My bad.

I am looking forward to being off ALL next week.  Maybe that will clear my
head. LOL

73's and I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.
