AM DA patterns at Kodis Web site (was: RE: WRKO Update)

[dan.strassberg@att.net]

Correcting the patterns at the Kodis site at 
www.radiostation.com is pretty easy if you have a 
graphics program such as PaintShop Pro. I use the old 
shareware version 4.0.

With the station data displayed at the Kodis site, right 
click on the pattern plot.

Click on "Save Picture As".

Specify a pathname for the image, which is in GIF format.

Open the file in your graphics program.

If you are using Paintshop Pro, click on Image in the 
main menu.

Click on Mirror.

Click on Rotate.

Click on Right and 90 degrees.

Save the file.

If you like, you can save the now-correct image under 
the same name as you originally saved the incorrect 
image from the Kodis site.

For the stations I've looked at, images saved in this 
manner are correct, but I can't guarantee that you can 
correct _all_ patterns at the Kodis site by rotating 
them about a vertical axis (mirror) and rotating them 
right (clockwise) by 90 degrees. Some patterns may be 
wrong in different ways. Many are, however, wrong in 
_this_ way.
