Don't forget to bottom-post, or people make get grumpy around here. ;-)

Those callsigns are what it picked up during the scan.  In the past I

This may not be entirely useful, but it is the update/rescan I did
using the scte56scan.

If nothing else, it will hopefully get you pointed in the right direction.
