The file File:sites.zip Contains Sites.dat The original site database containing most of the high spots in the UK used for microwave operating and many home stations. The format of the database is a simple text file with one entry per line. The first is the site name which is followed by a tilde ~ separator. After the tilde, the location is stored as either NGR or IARU locator .

Six, eight ofr ten digit NGRs are acceptable, ideally at least 8 digits ones like SU49901257 are preferred for correct access to the SRTM height data. Locator should ideally be at least 8 character, like IO90IV58 when used for distance and bearing calculation, and the 10 character version IO90IV58AK where it is used for SRTM lookup.

A second tilde may be used on any field for auxilliary data. Nothing is so far defined for this field
