+This file contains Longley-Rice path loss parameters used
+by SPLAT! Anything after the 9th line is ignored by the
+program. Comments are allowed following each element of
+numeric data. No blank lines are allowed at the top.
+
+Earth dielectric constants and conductivity values are as follows:
+
+ Dielectric Constant Conductivity
+ Salt water : 80 5.000
+ Good ground : 25 0.020
+ Fresh water : 80 0.010
+ Marshy land : 12 0.007
+ Farmland, forest : 15 0.005
+ Average ground : 15 0.005
+ Mountain, sand : 13 0.002
+ City : 5 0.001
+ Poor ground : 4 0.001
+
+Radio climate codes are defined as follows:
+
+ 1: Equatorial (Congo)
+ 2: Continental Subtropical (Sudan)
+ 3: Maritime Subtropical (West coast of Africa)
+ 4: Desert (Sahara)
+ 5: Continental Temperate
+ 6: Maritime Temperate, over land (UK and west coasts of US & EU)
+ 7: Maritime Temperate, over sea
+
+The Continental Temperate climate (5) is common to large land masses in
+the temperate zone, such as the United States. For paths shorter than
+100 km, there is little difference between Continental and Martitime
+Temperate climates.
+
+The 7th and 8th parameters in the .lrp file correspond to the statistical
+analysis provided by the Longley-Rice model. In this example, SPLAT!
+will return the maximum path loss occurring 50% of the time (fraction
+of time) in 50% of situations (fraction of situations). Use a fraction
+of time of 0.90 for digital television, 0.50 for analog.
+
+Edit these parameters as required and save the result ("Save As")
+to a filename with an extension of ".lrp" in the directory normally
+used for .qth files (current working directory is assumed). The
+base of the filename MUST match the base of the corresponding
+SPLAT! transmitter site QTH filename for proper correlation
+between data sets. In other words:
+
+ wnjt-dt.qth <--- TX site data for WNJT-DT
+ wnjt-dt.lrp <--- Corresponding Longly-Rice parameters for WNJT-DT
+
+If an LRP file corresponding to the tx_site QTH file cannot be
+found, SPLAT! scans the current working directory for "splat.lrp".
+If this file cannot be found, then default parameters similar to
+those listed above are assigned by SPLAT!, and a "splat.lrp" file
+containing those parameters is written to the current working directory.
