Every node heard on this feed in the last 24 hours, and how much of it we
heard. Being heard is what puts a station on this list — not
publishing a position, and not having a name. Most of the mesh appears here
under a bare node id, which is an ordinary state rather than a defect.
How many distinct stations this feed heard, one row per month —
growth or decline you can see, instead of having to remember what the
board looked like the last time you checked. A station counts here the same
way it counts on the board: heard as a sender at least once
(node_id, not gateway_id) — a busy gateway that
only ever relays other stations' traffic does not inflate this number every
period it happens to be listening.

Reading this.Active stations is a distinct-station
count within the period — a station heard on three different days of the
same week counts once for that week, not three times, so Week and Month
are never a sum of the Day rows underneath them. The LAST row on this table
is very likely a partial period — today has not finished yet, and
neither has this week or this month — so do not read a low final row as a
drop until the period it belongs to has actually ended.
This is not the whole mesh: it is the stations THIS feed heard,
bounded the same way the map and the board are (a regional MQTT root,
radio receptions only), so a change here can mean the mesh
changed, or that something about how well THIS feed hears it changed — a
dead listener would show up here as a drop in every station at once, not as
one station going quiet.
