It helps to pay attention when searching the ULS and I guess the FCC either needs a proof reader or they need to quit overworking their hired help! While doing a search for GRANT COUNTY in the ULS, I was looking at specific Location information and I found this:

4 - Fixed 13342 STATE PARK LN
BLOOMINGTON, WA GRANT County 42-58-58.6 N, 091-06-53.9 W

Upon looking closer at the other entries, I noticed they showed [WI] and this one had [WA]. I was pretty sure, we didn't have a BLOOMINGTON, WA and then I looked at the Lat/Long. So I looked at WISCONSIN in the Database and 'Yep', they have a GRANT COUNTY too! So when you are searching in the ULS, make sure you look closely at the information before you go and enter it in your scanner only to find out that it is for a location many many miles away!

Yep, I've seen some GIGO in their entries, such as Columbia Co WA getting confuzed with Columbia Co Oregon.
