Tom, did station E actually decode with "GNI" in the message? I notice 
you didn't report station E, NMB, Savanah, GA in your area 4 list. 
That's always so strong and long-winded here it masks GNI. I wonder if 
YAND reported GNI when it was actually NMB.

SeaTTY doesn't attempt to automatically identify sources. Instead, you 
can figure out the source yourself by looking at the message, especially 
the header which usually states in some sense what the source is. But 
even without a header the text that follows makes it clear if one is 
receiving the east coast, the west coast, Europe, etc.

An interesting case is area 4, station H. There are actually two of 
them. Not hard to distinguish them from area 12, H in Tofino, BC, but 
you need to look at the messages themselves to separate H, Wiarton, ON 
from H, Curacao. Incidentally, since Wiarton has resumed transmissions 
decoded Curacao has bascially disappeared here due to overlap.
