Ocala Florida repeater?

On 2-5-22, I was on the forum, and punched up the repeater map.  Going to be camping this month, and wanted to see if I had any repeaters near my destination programmed into my radio.  

Lo and behold, there was a new repeater on the map.  Ocala 600?   And it’s an open system, so great.   I was out at the moment, made a mental note to check when I go home and program the radios.  

Got home, it’s gone?   Yep, not there.  

You repeater owners,  would there be a reason for that?  It’s a new repeater, I even checked the off line listings.  Even if it was just testing, would you list it as such, or list it offline?  I’ll check the mailing tomorrow for updates,

Reminds me of the episode of The Twilight Zone, And When The Sky Was Opened; where 3 astronauts return from an aborted mission...

Or is it 2 astronauts...

Or 1...

or NONE! ?

Let us know what you discover! 

You laugh.  That’s how I felt.  And, honestly, i had not had one drop to drink.  Promise.

You were not dreaming because i saw the same repeater. I got to program it on my HT but once i was in the area i could not key up the repeater so i deleted it from my HT. After that i have never seen it again on the map.
