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.

When or is someone working on cleaning the DNS up next?
I'm working on it.
In all likelyhood, we'll not be able to "grandfather" many of the current entries, so we may be looking at a lot of re-entry of data. I hope not.
It's a question of matching database entries so that DNS entries are "owned" by the people who will be responsible for maintaining them.
We also have to get the DNS portion of the portal set up and working. - Brian _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net@hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net http://www.ampr.org/donate.html
