In MY OPINION..the ARRL is a lot like the old cartoons "Heckle & Jeckle"...nonsense talking Magpies....</div>

You have to be coordinated, and can only change information they have (ie, if it isn't coordinated or is a hotspot or....no dice). BUT, if enough of us make noise about listing our AllStar node numbers, maybe the dolts in the League publishing division will finally resolve their cranial-rectal inversion and start listing allstar node numbers where applicable?<br>
