===============================================================
* not computed for these coordinates as the decades-old xmtr
coordinates may not be the same as the current ones and this
location is only c. 1.5 miles s.e. of my current (since June
1972) location, so those later values have been attached here
Though I'd caught my first Es in Aug 1959 (WAIQ-2) this was
the first subsequent summer Es season that I'd come across
any Es after July (as well as my first encounter with the
winter Es season).
Much to my later regret, in 1960-61 I did NOT keep records
of TV-DX relogs (while maintaining a ridiculously-detailed
SWL log of h.f. relogs, mostly 31-mb, in those two years!)
And, for most of 1962, while TV-DX relogs were noted, only
the date and not the exact time was recorded.
Also, during part of this year another ridiculous re-log
criteria of mine might have been still in effect where I
required enough program data that a reception report could
have been generated. In other words, I may NOT have re-logged
a station solely on the basis of hearing/seeing its full ident!!
More self-inflicted wounds to the detrement of my early TV-DX
data collection.
The "XEWs" here may include other Ch 2s of the Network.
