Intersection stations... still no report?

I ask because in the last month, I've seen more than a handful of GEOCAC reports on intersection stations. All in 2009 and later. Before that, not nearly as many that I've found.

..Did something change? Was I sleeping through it? :)

Not sure I understand what you are saying. But at least a year ago I reported that Deb at NGS said she would prefer to receive no reports on intersection stations...no recoveries and no destroyed reports.

Okay, apparently I was tired or drunk when I wrote my first post.

However, yes, that's what I was asking - if NGS is still not wanting recovery reports on intersection stations.

I've seen several reports submitted within the last couple years that made me wonder.

Deb has stated that she would prefer not to get those reports, but that she will process them if they are submitted.

EDITED to fix that last , that should have been a .

post deleted - need to run some stats. MEL

Took me awhile to get the word as a beginning BM Hunter - 10% of my first month were spires.

But I have been sorely tempted to NGS Recover my favorite classical BOGUS GEO LOGGED intersection station/spire which I have observed from multiple miles on three different bearings.

I notice that a lot of intersection station reports submitted as GEOCAC lately are being submitted by individuales who weren't lurking here (ore even benchmark hunting) back when that info from Deb was posted here..

Yeah, there's been a rash of them here, too, I first noticed when I originally posted this. I contacted one member on GC.com, never heard anything back.
