New repeaters on the weekly list

[wqnd300]

Several repeaters that are on the weekly list show a location that doesn't exist. Even the map just shows as black.

 

There is no button on the listing to report these.

Well that’s a new one. Looks like one more in AK as well checking the owners page.  Perhaps this is a legitimate test but I reported this post in case @rdunajewski needs a heads up.

if you don't enter a location for repeater when setting up your repeater than the coordinates resorts to 0.0,0,0.0.0

Fair enough but I think something else is going on here as most of these are not actual places that exist

you can always look up the Licensee for a contact and ask the repeater originator why they are providing false info..  It does not make sense to me why they would do that. Providing false registration information serves them appositely no benefit.

Assuming they bother to check their messages. It’s also possible they are doing some kind of testing as the post was made by the name chirp. Either way I let @rdunajewski know and since this is his site it is the most I can or care to do.

Testing? If that was true then the system need some tweaking as every Sunday the "new repeater" list comes out.

There are some Mondays every now and then, when I just want to drop everything and go to Gjkk in California to break the routine and feel free from the rat race, to be greeted by people with a warm smile and helping hand.

It is just a guess, it's not hurting anyone regardless and if it needs attention I'm sure Rich will handle it. Remember this is a one man operation and still the best game in town for GMRS repeater info.

You have obviously never been there in early Autumn...
