% Notes by Joe NA3T:
%
% This file is readable by AZ_PROJ v1.04 (or greater)
%
% Each line in this file represents a transmitter.
% The file format was devised for AZ_PROJ, a program which draws maps
% for amateur radio operators. A line of this file will be plotted
% by AZ_PROJ as a symbol on a map.
%
% It is hoped that this machine readable transmitter file
% format is a generally useful format for beacons, repeaters, rovers,
% TV stations, FM stations, AM broadcast stations, airport radars ...),
% for people who maintain and use databases for transmitters.
%
% The line format for transmitters and it's specifications
% are hereby released into the public domain.
% Suggestions for changes in the format are welcome.
