It is a beta site and obviously there is a bug in that function - I have informed the guys doing the programming.

We're also still tinkering with the map, but in this case it's QRZ that's misplacing you, not us.  I just checked your QRZ listing detail, and the map has you just north of Toronto, presumably at VE3IKV's QTH.  I would guess that QRZ did that because you withheld your address, but in any case you need to take that up with them.  I think there's a way that you can provide your own coordinates manually.

I'm always available as a point of contact for the RBN team.  The "Contact Us" link on the old site is also still working.

Hi Fellas,

  I have tried, quite literally, 20 times throughout the day today (and even
different browsers) to contact the RBN guys through the contact link
http://beta.reversebeacon.net/contact and every single time I get the error:
contact us!
Sorry, the security code wasn't entered correctly.
Please go back and try again.

I give up. I guess "20" is my magic #

Anyways, I don't know if it's N4ZR or whomever, but very recently the new RBN
beta mapping software has placed me in VE3, 1000kms west of where I am, which is
New Brunswick.....FN66 to be more exact. (though a dot anywhere in central NB
would be acceptable, really)

I presume they VERY recently switched to mining QRZ.COM for data, which
(apparently) is picking up my QSL manager, VE3IKV's QTH.

Who has contacts with the RBN group?  I'm done trying the contact-us page.

Thanks all !

Mike VE9AA "NB"
