This is in response to the post of Ed Lacy, Sunday 30 May 1999.

Ed,

Thanks very much for an excellent condensation of this complicated subject!

As to your question,

The spectrum data posted earlier, Wed, 26 May 1999, was simply a file I was
working on at the time. It was not selected on the basis of unusually
prominent even-partial content. The exact spectral values (in Hz and dB)
are identified by cursor location in a graphic plot. So, as you might
expect, it is somewhat time consuming to locate and log the data in text
form. I'll post spectral values for other tones next week as time permits.
