I’ll admit that since I keep lists for both, that keyboard sometimes has problems understanding the difference between ratf and ref. They look so close to each other.

?

If you ever see anywhere on DSTARInfo.com where I’ve got it wrong, just let me know. If I type the wrong one, it’s entirely by accident and is a typo.

Dan,

?

Changes implemented. It may take a few hours for DNS to update.

?

Just send me the new address and I'll update it.

?

Yes, I'm setting up a common domain for everyone. Having to remember different domains was just not user-friendly enough for me. I just want to simplify everything for the users.

Ed, great job on the list.? I think this will be very helpful.??

Would you mind changing the Legacy Host Address on Paulding County’s ratflector to d-rats.pauldingares.com??? That domain is working now, but the IP address you have listed will be changing soon.?

?

I see you have a common domain name for all ratflectors listed in the Address column.? Is that something you are setting up for each ratflector?? If so, I will need to get you our new ip address once I have our ratflector in its permanent home.?

Thanks for doing this.? Great job!

I’ve published the list. These should all be active. If there is any desire to remove one, or change the name, just drop me a message at Info.DSTARInfo.com.

Ed,

I don't have any objections to put in the AB9FT/KC9SJY Ratflector(s) posted in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Some of it might be incorrect, but I will let you know, but its fine to post what is present which is probably operable.
