John:

Thanks for the FCC link- bookmarked it. Will check out NRC.

I appreciate your help, and the warm welcome here!

Rob,

John Plimmer was right on message, as usual. There are two or

three

other excellent resources:

For US stations, the FCC database is definitive and has some times

of

info that the others do not. It is fairly easy to use.
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html Their data on non-USA
stations... there for coordination purposes... is not nearly as
accurate/current as is the USA data

For US stations, again, (and Canadian) the National Radio Club AM
station log is a superb reference, listing formats and other good
data. Its published annually and available from the NRC website
(google) using Paypal.

If I had to restrict myself to one on-line source, it would be the
topaz site that John P. gave you which offers so much (explore BOTH
SIDES) of the main page. I particularly like the search of a
frequency for Call Letters using the fuzzy setting to kick up
slightly misunderstood IDs.

Hope this helps!

Welcome to the Ultralight community. If you have other questions,
just speak up.... we are here to help (and be helped :>)

Rob, as far as books are concerned for IDing MW AM stations the

best for

worldwide use is the WRTH 2009 annual. It is my "bible" and

constantly by my

side. See:
<http://www.wrth.com/>http://www.wrth.com/ - its also available

from

American booksellers and
online at Amazon etc.

However if you are resident in the USA you may want something more
comprehensive and there are various huge lists put out by various

clubs and

bodies - maybe someone else can help you with those addresses.

Also there are various web resources, my favourite being:
<http://www.radio-locator.com/>http://www.radio-locator.com/ and

others like:

<http://topazdesigns.com/ambc/>http://topazdesigns.com/ambc/
plus more that others might give you.

Good luck and good listening

Hi Rob,

As explained in the full review of the SRF-M37W in the 2008

Summertime

Shootout (posted in the ULR file section of DXer.Ca), its

selectivity (or

lack thereof) is identical to that of the SRF-M37V. In fact,

all

the AM

circuitry is unchanged.

New and been lurking awhile. Have a SRF-59 after finding this

group.

Digital display would help, so interested in SRF-M37; and I see

that

the V is replaced by W model. I Have read shootout about

selectivity

issues in the V. Wondering if anyone knows if the SRF-M37W may

be

better in selectivity or any other performance issues, in am

band?

Also, what reference book(s) can someone recommend to identify

am

call

letters, frequency, location of North American and/or World

medium

wave, AM broadcasters?

Thanks,
rob
