Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Frequency/distance search engine

["Wayne Heinen" <amradiolog@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I built one in access that I used to score the NRC contests when we were
using cumulative mileage.  relatively straight forward.  Bill Hale developed
a spreadsheet in Excel that did he same also back when he edited GYDXA.

I'm not aware of one, however you could download an Excel spreadsheet of the
FCC data for the US AM's at www.dxfm.com, and then sort it that way. If
you're handy with Microsoft Access, you could probably make a copy of the
spreadsheet, saving it as data without the formulas, and import that into
acces and write a query which would could plug any frequency into and get
the results.

I'm wanting to see if such an animal exists...specifically, what I'm looking
for is a search engine where you can plug in A) your location, either in
lat/long coordinates or by the name of the city you live in; and B) an AM
frequency, then it would spit out a list of all of the stations on that
frequency, in order of distance to your location, from closest to furthest.
Example: 

 

Location: Iowa City, Iowa

Frequency: 1490 

 

1) KBUR - Burlington, Iowa (61.4 mi) 

2) WDBQ - Dubuque, Iowa (73.2 mi) 

3) KXLQ - Indianola, Iowa (106.6 mi)

4) WZOE - Princeton, Illinois (110.3 mi) 

5) KRIB - Mason City, Iowa (132.1 mi)

6) WGEZ - Beloit, Wisconsin (142.8 mi)

7) WLFN - LaCrosse, Wisconsin (150.9 mi) 

 And so forth....  

 

Anyone out there know of anything like this?
