Re: [44net] gateways sunset

Neil, Can you share these scripts or the links to what you used as a base. I can see myself doing this once the DNS part of the portal is functional. Steve, KB9MWR WI/Upper MI Coordinator ---- Quote ---- Having just volunteered as a coordinator for the state of Iowa (44.50.0.0/16). I went through the amprhost file and: - Pulled out all the IP address entries for the state. - Manually pulled out the call signs from the host names. - Modified a python script I found on github ( called qrz.py) to get as many email addresses as I could from qrz.com, - Used another python script to send a nicely formatted e-mail to each user asking them to register their IP on the portal or tell me if they no longer needed it. Stated in the e-mail that if I didn't hear from them in 90 days. I would reclaim their allocation. - The plan is to send a reminder email at 60, 30, and 7 days. I'm not sure what I will do with those call signs that don't have e-mails associated with them (56 out of 175). Possibly send a post card ? Of the 119 e-mails I sent, I've received 27 responses so far. 20 saying I can reclaim their allocation, and 7 requests through the portal. The previous volunteer did a wonderful job of dividing up the state into regions, sub-regions, and cities, but assumed there would be only one gateway per city. I'll have to understand the existing network topology and see if I can fit them into new subnet boundaries. -Neil
