                Link Descriptors: These letters appear in the row and column
                        of the two stations whose link they describe.

                        E : Link is possible only during periods of enhanced
                                propagation usually caused by troposheric 
                                scattering.
                        T<#> : Link is only possible via a computer based
                                message system that is changed somehow to 
                                provide a link to one of the stations then 
                                to the other on a regularily scheduled basis.
                                # is the list number of the computer based 
                                message system station or it s closest prime
                                link. T stands for Time Shifted.
                        ! : For the convience of the routing table user ex-
                                clamation points were added to make columns
                                easier to discerne.
                        Link Quality Descriptors: Loosely based on the RST
                                signal report system these numbers describe the
                                quality of links. Readabilty is analogued to

                                        etc up to 
                                        9: 90 to 99 %


Instructions: Pick out two stations u wish to link between. Look at a 
        complete listing of stations (such as IL.LST) to find the 
        stations' locations. Use 9landnet.map to determine the closest
        prime link station to the stations. Find the farthest north or
        west prime link station on the above table. Trace downward from
        the Station column marker (X) until u find the last station with
        an A,N,D entry in that column. Then translate right to this sta-
        tion's column marker and repeat the downward trace operation de-
        scribed in the last sentance. Eventually you will come to the 
        closest prime link station to the farthest south or east station.
        Your link is now the via the first prime link station , any sta-
        tions where a right shift was made (in sequence) and finally the
        last prime link station. Other routes are possible by not tran-
        slating as far as possible downwards before translating to the 
        the right. the link s overall quality may be calculated as shown
        below:

                Overall Traffic Number  =
                        (T1 * T2 *...Tn)/(5**(n-1))

                Overall PPRAY Number = 
                        (P1 * P2 *...Pn)/(10**(n-1))
