FCC Station Listing or another source

Paul Blundell
 

Here in Australia we have a really good listing of all medium wave stations on the ACMA website. This shows you what it looks like:  3 MF AM Radio in Frequency Order.pdf (acma.gov.au)

I have now added a link to this in my logging program (MWDXerDB) and was hoping to add something like this for the USA and other countries. Does the FCC provide something like this? If you know of something like this for other countries, that would also be great and I would be happy to add this to MWDXerDB.

Hi Paul,
 
A nice list is available.
 
If you go to the FCC's AM Query page, FCC AM Query
 
Select the dropdown from Authorization: Licensed Records Only (Daytime & Nighttime)
 
Select the dropdown from Output: AM Short List (easiest printed, fastest)
 
Don't input anything else or input any other fields.
 
Click "Results To This Page/Tab".
 
You will get a nice list like your list. Save as a .PDF, for example.

The FCC's web site has been acting up a bit lately. You might get an error page or a time out. Keep trying. It will work.
 
Good luck,
 
Bill

Yes, it does. Takes a while to load. The FCC site is a bit wonky lately.

That link does unfortunately include all the FCC's data on Mexico, Canada, and Central and South America. Highly unreliable. I'd throw that part out I it were me.

Thanks Bill, I will tidy it up.

Could you pull some data from here?

I am not sure if the site owner would be happy with that. Government sources are much less likely to cause issues.

Could you look at some sort of offline storage for this? Save having to have net access.

I have given that some thought and have now downloaded both lots of information.

The ACMA data was easy, I just downloaded the PDF and linked directly to that. 

The FCC data was a bit harder but I cleaned that up and have downloaded it and linked to it. 

Does anybody else have any links or relevant information I could link to?

Hi Paul,

I finally got my other FCC link to work. This is all U.S. 50 state + territories AM broadcast. Licensed only. No foreign stations outside of the U.S. All are presumed to be on the air but list does include the "silent" ones - those stations which have requested temporary silent status. There are about 87 of them at this time.

I saved the list in .PDF form. There are clickable links in the .PDF which take you to each station's FCC record. Grab this .PDF while you can. I can't guarantee it will be up there indefinitely. Data as of Feb. 16, 2022.

Thanks Bill, I have grabbed that and have just copied it across, that is excellent.
