Bm Listed At Wrong Place

I just wrote a note for This BM. It appears as if in Poulsbo, WA, but according to it's official history its near Lake Washington, a few dozen miles to the East, on the other side of Puget Sound. Am I wrong here, and if not, how could this have happened?

What's wrong is you have the wrong station COLEMAN. You've printed the description and recovery information for COLEMAN (SY3607) while comparing the position for COLEMAN (SY5126). It's not unusual to have stations with the same name and date in a given area.

SY5126 is messed up. The description is copied from SY3607 but the coordinates point to a different place. It needs to be looked into.

You make it sound as if *I* have things missed up. I haven't printed anyything. The conflicting datum and history is all on that page - I just noticed it as I browsed by while logging another BM in the area.

 

Rogbarn, you say it needs to be looked into. Is there something I should do other than writing that note? Or could you, as an experienced BMer, pass on the info to whoever needs to know?

 

Thanks!

I have discovered the reason for the confusion. SY5126 as listed on GC is incorrect and contains, at least in part, the description for SY3607. It appears that this was corrected at NGS after the datasheets were copied to GC and the current datasheet on NGS is correct. DaveD, I'm sorry for implying that you needed to fix this, I didn't realize you were looking at a datasheet that was already corrected.
