Re: [IRCA] FCC Data Base

Bill - Here's a direct link to the FCC database: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html
 
One thing I do every couple of months on this site is to click on the "Text file (pipe delimited/no links)" option towards the bottom of the page.  The output takes a few minutes to download, but it covers the whole database from 530 to 1700 with power, CPs and applications, and transmitter latitude/longitude, among other things. I then click "save as" (in Internet Explorer) and save the file as a .txt file.  The .txt file can then be uploaded into Excel (via the Data - From Text function, choose "delimited" file) and voila - a spreadsheet with the whole FCC database!
 
The database has some inaccuracies on the US side, and is ridiculously out of date for non-US stations.  Changes to US stations that have been made relatively recently, however, seem to be fairly accurate.
