[Asterisk-Users] channels change names

[Gary Reuter]

Another option would be to set/pass a variable and use that instead of
the current channel variable value.   Keeping the Local chan up just
to maintain a constant variable value may be alot of overkill
(longterm) compared to rewriting your code to set and use your own
variable (shortterm).
