The reason is that APRS object names must be padded on the right to be
exactly 9 characters.  WB9UUS-12 is 9 characters, but N9DOA-12 is only 8
--- you need to pad it out with spaces so the payload is:

;N9DOA-12 *151333z4030.28N708859.28WAAsterisk app_rpt user

(note the extra space before the "*")
