Re: [IRCA] [mwdx] 1560 NYC off

[Dennis Gibson <wb6tnb@xxxxxxxxx>]

The FCC database and FCCInfo.com website are for currently licensed stations. I Googled KFIO and found a couple of interesting websites.

>> All of this information and much more about every AM, FM and TV station is in the FCC database, which isn't hard to use. The fascinating history cards for many AM stations are there. For basic information FCCInfo.com is faster and displays more information on the same page. It can organize information that would be very difficult to organize using the FCC database. Do you want to know exactly how far you are from a transmitter site or which sites are within whatever number of kilometers you choose? Use FCCInfo.com. Here's a list of AM stations within 15 kilometers of where I live. Notice that three are the same distance and bearing. They're using the same tower.
