Hi,
 
As noticed yesterday some strange callsigns are checking on to my server.

RKR010 is giving his position to Alkmaar in Holland!?
I think that he/she was using my server to send one e-mail but I am not
sure. Deleted emails before knowing about the callsign. I know that the
email was not used for spam or anything not correct.
The position can be put anywhere one likes so that is not for sure that he
is there at all.
 
The second one RKR12 can not be found on aprs.fi, but I don´t think he is in
Holland due to the fact that the band has almost never been open at 5AM UTC
before!! 
 
I think that the person that is doing this is just an interested radioperson
without a certificate and that just made the callsign up to do a test of a
great program but that is not ok and therefore I think it´s high time for
some type of database.
