So, the real problem is with the operators of BAMBAM and NICOLI, and YAAC is simply demonstrating the "Garbage In, Garbage Out" reality of computer technology. ?
Which clears up my concerns about BAMBAM -- I routinely see it "co-located" on YAAC with my digipeater (WA2WA), which is about 130 miles away. ?I had wondered what the issue was. ?The operator (KI7RUS, from the status text) should add the lat/lon to his beacon and edit the WIDE1-1 setting.
Thanks for that explanation. ?
But I am puzzled about one matter concerning aprs.fi -- do you know if aprs.fi plots the position for BAMBAM using CWOP data? ?I ask because the FCC registered address for KI7RUS is in Vancouver, WA (no where near Goldendale). ?The CWOP database (http://wxqa.com/sss/search1.cgi?keyword=bambam)
does have a lat/lon, which resolves to the same location shown on aprs.fi.
