<div class="moz-signature">Sometime yesterday, BG0GE-6 quit
injecting the old packets. But I checked just now and they're
back! But this time, it's only going into firenet and not the

</div>
<div class="moz-signature">And I spoke too soon. As I was typing
this message, the packets starting showing up in both the APRS-IS
and firenet again. And now they're back to firenet only. Maybe
their configured APRS-IS server is disconnecting them? Who knows.</div>

<p>For some years, I used both WA8LMF.com and WA8LMF.net . One
time WA8LMF.com expired and a slimy domain squatter grabbed
it instantly. Not willing to pay the scammer to get it back, I
proceeded to use just WA8LMF.net and forget about the .COM
version. <br>
</p>
<p>[Actually, by the original scheme of things on the Internet,
.NET is more appropriate anyway since I am doing communications
operations on the Internet- not running a commercial business.
Actually, I only used .COM in the early days of the Internet
because so many people at that time thought EVERYTHING on the
web had to end with .COM.] <br>
</p>
<p>I assumed that the squatter would ultimately tire of paying for
a domain as unique and un-saleable as a ham call. It never
occurred to me that someone would actually buy it.....</p>

<div>So the lesson here is to make sure that you don't let the
registration for any domains you care about expire and sit
unregistered for a long time, because these sorts of sites
will sweep them up if there's any decent number of links to
them... they probably weren't banking on your APRS comment
back in the day, but here we are. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>I strongly suspect that this domain registration has
nothing to do with BG0GE accidentally gatewaying their TNC
test runs onto the APRS-IS</b>. I've emailed them directly
to stop I-gating the LMF CD. </div>

<p>I would have thought the same thing EXCEPT that the BG0GE-6
igate is now including the WA8LMF.COM domain in their
comment.. Also, his email addy is <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="mailto:BG0GE@163.com" moz-do-not-send="true">BG0GE@163.com</a>
. 163.com is one of the links on the home page of the porn
site. <br>
</p>
<p>Again, I am baffled. Why would one want to flog a porn site
with an obscure ham call sign?</p>
