Table Explanations
Winter and summer tables are on seperate worksheets, accessed by the
tabs on the bottom of the visible table
Start and End time:
Universal time, about 6 hours ahead of Texas time, 24 hour
format. These times are when I heard the reception and usually
represent a subset of the actual broadcast interval. Commonly
they start and end when a powerful competing station begins or ends on
the same or a nearby frequency. This table is a subset of
thousands of receptions. Each row in the table usually represents
many receptions.
"ext. ant.": Whether this
reception benefits greatly from an external antenna for satisfactory
listening (yes or no)
Capital letters: none
used on this data set, which came from Microsoft Access into Excel.
Music Type: Pardon my lack
of knowledge on the music styles. Nothing derogatory is
meant if I accidentally mis-identify a style. There are
enormous variations, just in the Mideast and also in the Greek and
Spanish styles.
Errors: Because stations
commonly change both broadcast times and frequencies from year to year,
the table becomes progressively less accurrate with time. I
spot-checked the winter table about 6 months after I finished it, at
the start of this winter season, and found its accurracy already
degraded to only 65% accurrate.
