COLlect radio signals into integrated frequency spectrum ezRA .txt data files.\n\n  * Or convert previous radio data with ezColBAA, ezColDSPIRA, ezColHay, ezColIFAvg, ezColSc, etc.\n\n  * ezFix - remove or separate samples, combine, edit, and split frequency spectrum ezRA .txt data files.\n\n* ezCon - CONdense one or more frequency spectrum data .txt files into one .ezb text data file, and perhaps one Galaxy crossing spectra *Gal.npz data file.\n\n* ezPlot - PLOT analysis from one or more .ezb condensed data files.\n\n* ezSky - SKY maps from one or more .ezb condensed data files.\n\n* ezGal - GALaxy plots from one or more spectra *Gal.npz data files (centered on one Galactic Latitude: Galaxy rotation, Galaxy mass,\nVelocity vs Galactic Longitude, Galaxy arm plots).\n\n* ezGLon - Galaxy LONgitude plots from one or more spectra *GLon.npz data files (centered on one Galactic Longitude: Galaxy arm cross-section plots, 4D Galaxy arms).\n\n## Videos:\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/@TedCline/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@TedCline/videos)\u003cbr\u003e\n\n  * [ezRA -
