  3. Add fields to top of csv
    spotid,timestamp,reporter,reportergrid,snr,frequency,call,callgrid,power,drift,distance,azimuth,band,version,code
  4. Geocode 2x, once for CallGrid, once for ReporterGrid. Outputs are reporterIsMe and callerIsMe, respectively.
  5. Strip geocoder fields
  6. Add i_am field to both.
  7. Field calculate: reporterIsMe.i_am = reporter ; callerIsMe.i_am = caller
  8. Merge reporterIsMe and callerIsMe
  9. Add fields for: timedate, time, date, day_of_week, time_of_day, band
