Returning to the perennial subject of cleaning up the
AMPR.Org DNS
database, Neil Johnson has done a thorough job of investigating the
entries in the current database. He has generated a file available from
the gw.ampr.org anonymous FTP server "Hosts-TBD.txt" which lists 2,045
callsign-based entries in the DB where
0. They're in the current AMPR.Org DNS.
1. They're not found in active entries on QRZ.com.
2. They're not found in the online Callbook database.
3. They're not in the portal.
4. They're not in HamNet.de.
5. They were NOT entered into the AMPR.Org DNS after 2011.
6. Or they are listed as expired in QRZ.
All hosts in the 44.137.0.0/16 network are validated against the license authorities'
callsign list on a weekly basis and expired licenses are deleted. Entries have
been re-confirmed in 2014 and 2016 by sending a mailing and news bulletin and keeping
only those entries for which a mail reply was received or that were otherwise confirmed
as still active. About 1/3 of the hosts were deleted in 2016.
Please don't delete further hosts from 44.137.0.0/16 (hostnames p[a-i][0-9][a-z]* )
