Beacon Graphs

Beacon graphs legend: Graph bars (in red; left side Y-axis): beacon reliability as the percentage of days a beacon was heard by any (UK) observer within each time band. Graph lines (right side Y-axis): signal strength calculated as the average of the daily maximum signal reported by any observer in each time band. Time band codes (X-axis): 6=0600-0900, 9=0900-1200, 12=1200-1500, etc. Times in UT (GMT). Titles are beacon callsigns followed by the daily reliability figures, the percentage of days for the month on which the beacon was reported
