<p><font face="Arial">For about a week now, looking up WA8LMF on
findu.com or aprs.fi has yielded a map showing my location as
being in Los Angeles. (Rather than my current location in
Haslett in central Michigan.) <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">This is due to </font><tt>the igate BG0GE-6
in Xi'an China constantly igating a playback of the APRS Test CD
I created over 16 years ago. This CD was intended for direct
audio playback into TNCs for testing; not for over-the-air
transmission. One of the tracks on the CD is a recording of me,
off-the-air, doing a 20-mile drive test around the San Gabriel
Valley east of Los Angeles. <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>This recording, for reasons unknown, is now being played back
constantly into the APRS Internet System via the </tt><br>
<tt><tt>BG0GE-6 igate, constantly over-writing my current position
reports from here in Michigan. <br>
</tt></tt></p>
<p><br>
<tt><tt>The fake APRS drive test being endlessly repeated on the
Internet!<br>

<p><tt><tt>After considerable search, I located an email address for
</tt></tt><br>
<tt><tt><tt>BG0GE <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:bg0ge@163.com"><bg0ge@163.com></a> and sent him an email
asking him to please stop this igating. I have received no
response back. <br>
</tt></tt></tt></p>
<p><tt><tt><tt>My website is WA8LMF.net . Today, I discovered
that WA8LMF.COM (a domain I haven't used for many years)
is now a Chinese porn site!! <br>
</tt></tt></tt></p>
<p><tt><tt><tt>I have now configured an APRS application to beacon
into the Internet (not over the air) my current location
every 60 seconds. This includes the comment "BG0GE-6 Igate
In China Disrupting My Posit!" . </tt></tt></tt><br>
<tt><tt><tt><tt><tt><tt> Hoping they will get the message.....<br>
