Special Event in the Database??

This is kinda wierd...

Otakon 2011 Trunking System, Baltimore, Maryland - Scanner Frequencies

Otakon is an Anime convention that's, as I understand it, held in different parts of the US every year - why is this here? If anything, some of this would belong in a wiki article that would document a possible DMR TRS at the Baltimore (city) Convention center (until it's validated, then it could be incorporated in the DB), and the event should be documented in the wiki in the Special Events category (which is set up for this)

I put this system in the database because I personally monitored it in use in 2011. This is not a "possible DMR TRS" - it was in use that year at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Another example of a confirmed system used for a special event that's in the database:

Communications Direct (2013 Inauguration) Trunking System, Washington, District of Columbia - Scanner Frequencies

Thanks,

I would have thought that you would want a db entry for the Center, then define the events underneath it. The way it is now, if a person doesn't know the name of the event, s/he is left wondering where to look if they are looking for specific Convention Center data. Even the wiki doesn't have it, and as mentioned, we have a reserved category for special events.

This is illogical. Mike

As an example...

James City / York / Williamsburg Trunking System, Various, Virginia - Scanner Frequencies

Notice that there are special event talkgroups defined. In the case of the Baltimore Center listing, the special event would be named, but the integrity of the structure remains
