HF Broadcast Schedules

Hi,

Whilst obtaining the data to answer Ron's question regarding DRM broadcasts, it got me thinking.........

There is a very comprehensive list of HF broadcast schedules listed at http://www.hfcc.org/data/b17/

I wonder how feasible it would be to parse this and populate a DX.json file (or similar) of broadcast stations from this information ? The DX tags could then change according to time date and BC schedule a bit like the IBP tags.

The transmission schedules change with seasons, so this could be updated as and when required.

Regards,

    It's buried in the bug list, but there is an entry that says:
    • Use info from public databases, e.g. shortwave broadcast schedules (EiBi) 
    I have seen the hfcc.org list. I looked at some others too, but a lot of them have restrictions on re-publication. It's not clear exactly what that means in the context of dynamic access by Kiwi code as opposed to re-publication in their entirety. Would probably have to negotiate with the authors about that issue. For example WebSDR has this.

    Hi John,

    Ooops, sorry I missed that one when I browsed the list.
