Re: [44net] Proposal for Cleaning up ampr.org DNS file

Nice work ! Just wondered how you did it ? have you query the DNS ? or made parsing of the downloaded Zone file and did it on a local file now for my response In our Country there are few hostname that are of non alive hams and we operate a stations on their callsign as a memory for them (one example is 4x4fu.ampr.org which served for many years as Packet-InterNet gateway on his memory (he died long ago ) or 4x4ac.ampr.org same ... So 1) not all the hosts are of live persons (in our country the callsign is not return to the pool so the call of deed persons stay for them forever ) 2) as a results no email contact would be able to reach them 3) I was the one that enter most of the hosts of our country to the AMPR.ORG DNS so none of them even know what to do if he will get email probably he will not even know what are you talking about .. if you want to email him you will probably need to explain him a little and then ask him in the email to contact the local coordinator and tell him about the mail he got (or even forward it to him) 4) because of section 3 i think that in my case it is better to send all the hosts that you have found direct to the coordinator and let him deal with that ....
