I'm sure it is, I forget where I got it from and I would love to see it in

Abner:

It is correct and the chart follows with the addition of 3rd and 4th
positions.

Do you notice a pattern?  Look at the 1st column and count down 5 after A.
That is D and that is the starting key for 2nd position and then that column
follows the same pattern from that point as 1st position (column 1).  Count
down 5 after D in the 2nd column and you get G, the start of 3rd position
with the same note pattern, etc. etc.

This pattern is circular in nature and repeats thru all 12 position and is
called the circle of 5th.  I believe that Crazy Bob is on this list.  He has
created a great tool you can download and carry with you to determine the
music key and harp key for any position.  Maybe Bob or someone else can post
the link. You can google Circle of 5ths and get more information (probably
far much more than you want know).
