Yesterday I realised that some explanation was needed for the various codes, etc., being used. The explanation for these are in the opening sections of the base document, and included below…
An Asterisk* denotes either more details are needed, (especially directly after a year or month),
A plus + denotes one of several events on the same date for most years. Some years, where more details are expected, may show a +for a single entry at present.
The word ‘rig’ is used to refer to a transmitter.
To give a ‘tidy’ appearance to the document country names are three letters as determined by the IOC, thus GBR is Great Britain, NED is Nederlands and so on. The exception being ‘offshore’ which is in full and in a blue font. Details of the vessels involved are added where known. ‘???’ means unknown Country.
I hope this is helpful?
