Read the Spectrogram as follows:
The spectrogram is a pixel array 3600 samples wide x 200 channels high, and each pixel has a time, frequency and intensity value.
The bottom horizontal scale shows a 15 minute interval in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The top legend indicates the date of the chart and station.
The left vertical scale shows the frequency range in MHz.
The colors indicate intensity of the received emissions according to the scale on the right relative to the background noise level. This scale is logarithmic and shows the relative values in dB.
The solid and dotted horizontal lines and bands are radio frequency interference.
