%bea_6m.dat---------------------------------- %This is the World 6m beacon list from "M. Harrison" <poa01@cc.keele.ac.uk> %modified by Joe NA3T for az_proj, Jun 95 %modified for v1.04, Oct 96 % % % % 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. % % Joseph Mack NA3T Nov 96, mack@ncifcrf.gov % % To add a transmitter to the file, supply data in the form % transmitter_type:frequency:string_1(suggested use, callsign):6 character grid_locator:power(W):beam_heading(s):string_2(suggested use, location or special operating condx):comment ignored by reading program (eg AZ_PROJ) % eg 2m beacon % beacon:144.170:NA3T:FM19gk:60:300:Frederick, MD: Joe, ph# 301-555-1212, 5dbd yagi, from W3EP, Oct 96 % eg. rover operating a weekend 10GHz contest from Mt Ascutney % rover:10:NA3T:FN33sk:::only saturday: 2m link is 147.54, cell ph# 860-555-1212 % eg TV station North America channel 2, used as a 6m propagation marker % TV:55.25Z:WPBT/02:FL05cx:100000:-1:Miami,FL,US:comment % % transmitter_type is % beacon % repeater % rover % TV % BC %usually 550-1630 kHz AM % AM %usually 550-1630 kHz AM % FM %North America is 88-108MHz % % beacon and repeater is plotted as a nested set of circles % (or if directional, a fan 70 deg wide). % The number of circles indicate the power level. % Rover is plotted as a VW beetle. % Power and beam_heading info info are ignored. % High power commercial stations used as propagation markers or % for mad DX hunters (TV, AM, FM, ...) are not differentiated % by AZ_PROJ (at least yet). They can be plotted as either % a non-directional tower (one section for each factor of 10 % increase in power) or by nested circles (see az_ini.ps). % % frequency is % int or a real. The units are not specified here and % instead are known by the program using the file. % Units could be kHz, MHz, GHz, wavelength in m, channel number... % % In AZ_PROJ the frequency entry is matched with entries in the % array /bands_plotted. If a match is found the entry is plotted % on the map, otherwise the entry is skipped. If the entry is a real % eg 55.25, then the int resulting from truncation (in this case 55) % is matched against the entries in /bands_plotted. If a real % the last digit in the frequency can instead be an arbitrary char % which is plotted on the map (eg 55.250H for horizontal polarisation). % Some chars have special meaning eg +,-,N,Z for TV stations % (see file TVxxx.dat for further details), or +/- for repeaters % (see file repxxx.dat for further details). % % power % if -1, then power unknown. Will be plotted as minimal power % (set in az_proj.ps). % % beam_heading is % 1. -1 if omnidirectional % 2. int (0..360) if one main lobe is radiated % or % 3. comma separated list of int eg 60,180,300 if multilobed radiator % or 45,225 if dipole facing NE/SW % % It is also possible to draw a multilobed radiator by putting % several lines identical except for the beam_heading. % % % File Names: % AZ_PROJ uses 8.3 DOS file names for transmitter files. % The extension is .dat % Where possible, the file name is % transmitter_type - country/location - subclass % eg tv_nach2.dat for TV stations in North America on channel 2 % eg bea_na.dat for all VHF beacons in North America % % % New Transmitter Types: % It is relatively easily to add code for new transmitter types % to AZ_PROJ. If a map was needed of Automatic Packet Reporting % System (APRS) nodes in a meteor scatter event or of packet stations, % in a traffic network, then I would only need a list of APRS % nodes and a few suggestions for a symbol. % %---------------------------------- % %Special notes for beacons: % Modulation type (A1, A3, F1) where known is appended to the callsign % % Ham beacons, are relatively low power, ie 1mW < P < 100W % AZ_PROJ draws one circle for each bm (bell miliwatt), %0 circle for 1mw %4 circles for 10W (also for 99W) %4 circles for 99W (also for 99W) %5 circles for 100W % % For TV stations which are high power, ie 1000W < P <100,000W (generally) % one circle for each bW (bell W) %0 circle for 1W %3 circles for 1000W %3 circles for 9999W %4 circles for 10000W % % If a ham beacon and a TV station are plotted on the same map % then a 10W ham beacon, will have the same size as a 10KW TV station % To differentiate the two symbols, a thicker black complete circle is drawn % at the 1W level for both symbols. For a beacon, the 1W circle is the 3rd circle % For a TV station the 1W circle is the inner most circle. % This isn't a great solution. Other suggestions are welcome. % %-------------------------------------- % % Notes about this beacon list - Joe % % The format for the 6m beacon data has been changed to a machine readable % form of the format used by Emil W3EP. % Unused information in the original file, that is not used % here has been moved to the right hand side of the line % (where it is ignored by az_proj.ps). % Beacons without grid square locators, or which aren't obviously % operational are commented out. % %-------------------------------------- % %Notes from M Harrison: %There follows my revised 50MHz beacon list, incorporating information %from everyone who was kind enough to send in information in response to %my request, especially Bob W3OTC, who put the results of his recent %'census' of W/VE beacons at my disposal. In compiling the list I have %done my best to eliminate dead wood, but there are still a great many %more queries than I would wish as I did not want to delete anything %unless I was convinced the beacon was dead. Some NON-OP beacons have %been left in because information suggested that they might return. % %I will try to keep this list up to date, so any additions, corrections o %or deletions will always be appreciated. %Last revision 16 August 1994 % % 50MHz Beacons % beacon:50.000:GB3BUX/F1:IO93BF:20:-1:0 24 Buxton Turnstile /F1 360 beacon:50.003:7Q7SIX:KH75:-1:-1:0 24 beacon:50.008:DX1HB:PK04:20:-1:0 24 Manila J Pole 360 beacon:50.010:SV9SIX/F1:KM25NH:30:-1:0 24 Iraklio Vert.
