Dean,

The reason there is an NS record at ae7q.hamwan.net is because I
needed to test user NS records while working on the portal UI. On
April 10 you talked about running your own DNS server, and complained
that ampr.org did not allow NS records. Not wanting HamWAN to be
accused of the same thing, I made sure you could create NS records
yourself from the portal.

Use your Logbook of the World certificate to log in here:
http://portal.hamwan.org/dns/

It will allow you to create, edit, and delete any DNS record within
the {LoTW callsign}.hamwan.net domain (e.g., AE7Q.hamwan.net). You can
manipulate the records as you see fit.
