Just wanted to make a note. I love the website and use the database all the time. With that said I really don't like the new format for Wayne Co, Mi. It seems a FCC license dump of the county was added. I can't tell you how many of those frequencies are not in use, if ever. Further, several cities were added that are not even located in Wayne county, seems they may have been added because the license address came back to a address in Wayne Co.
I like the idea of identifying the frequency before adding it to the database, if someone has actually found a frequency active, but can't id it or it's use, it could be talked about in the forums to help try to identify it first, much like we do with talkgroups. With the way things are right now, if someone were to visit Wayne Co. Mi and used the database, they would very likely fill their radio up with a lot of junk! I used to own a Betty Bearcat frequency directory and I hated it, because they used this format.
Like I said I love the website, but I don't think adding a blind FCC dump is a good idea, it was more accurate before the changes. I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Paul
