[IRCA] Stats for 1st 500 stations

[Brian Rachford <azswdxing@xxxxxxxxx>]

I finally had a chance to put together some stats on my 500 logged
stations.  First, I've updated my Google map, best accessed from my blog
page:
https://azswdxing.wordpress.com/am-bcb-radio-stations-received/
In addition to updating the map for 500 stations, the label for each map
point contains the frequency, call letters, city, and reception distance.

I've reached the halfway point in stations logged from three states, so
those are indicated.  In all cases, the stats are for the city of license,
so in reality I've only received transmissions from 25 states since the
tower for 1650 KYHN Fort Smith AR is actually across the border in OK.
