The purpose of our project was to extract metadata from the Green Bank Telescope archives to create histograms of frequencies observed vs. time observed within a frequency. To do this, we created programs that could retrieve the data out of the FITS storage files and into a readable data file. Besides creating usage histograms, we also looked at how much observing occurred within astronomy-allocated bands, and found that 21% of the observing occurred entirely within an allocated band while 56% of observing occurred at least partially within an allocation. We were able to account for the large majority of the data including the non-standard backends. We were able to see general observing trends, including how much observing occurs within astronomy-allocated bands. By better understanding what frequencies astronomers use, we can better gauge what frequencies need more protection.
