As Hermann already pointed out, I've committed these files to hg. I'veextracted as much information as possible from the pdf (there arestill errors remaining: a ch65 <--> 778 MHz mapping somewhere, whichI'll fix myself, and the Hamburg 1/4 <--> 1/8 duplication, which Iwon't touch) and I've done some spot checks against the existing scandata. This should help many regions (where the scan files were justcollecting dust). So please (re-)post your additions relative to thesefiles.

What do you think?
There are always "edge" cases, between transmitters, regions orcountries. If you want, you can always c&p from different files (theydon't hurt each other). But the cost-benefit side looks a bitdifferent: Using that pdf I could (hopefully) produce working data formany people. Imho taking care of all those intersection cases is moreeffort and not necessarily justified. And I reall hope that auto-scanwill spread more ...
