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
- They're in the current AMPR.Org DNS.
- They're not found in active entries on QRZ.com.
- They're not found in the online Callbook database.
- They're not in the portal.
- They're not in HamNet.de.
- They were NOT entered into the AMPR.Org DNS after 2011.
- 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]* )
