RE: [HCDX]: HFCC listing

["Thomas R. Sundstrom" <trscons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At Dan's request as a result of questions he's seen in mailing lists and
newsgroups, I've reinstituted some of the basic reference material that
was on our Web site prior to August 1 of this year. The data includes
tables of CIRAF zones, HFCC transmitter location abbreviations and
country ITU three-letter codes. We'll be proofing the material in the
next week or so, but I believe it to be 95% correct barring any recent
changes. For the newbies, we also have a JavaScript page to translate
kHz to meters and vice versa. Go to our home page at www.trsc.com and
select 'References' from the menu on the left side.

Regards, Tom W2XQ

I think WRTH had a map of the CIRAF Zones a few years ago.
Or, the VOAAREA program has an option to display CIRAF Zones.
I wrote a text description several years ago.  Maybe I can find it.

1 is Sunday, 7 is Saturday

Yeah - sure doesn't make for easy sorts.

Yes

Refers to "Requirement Number" and alternate frequencies.
