Complete / Accurate / Easy To Find Information For:

- FCC Frequency Database
- Worldwide Airport Frequencies
- US / Canada Amateur callsign listings
- Mass Media information for DX'ers
- All Racing series frequencies
- Better than any published book - updated weekly means fresh
information
- And Much More.


All of these databases are already on the web for free, not $19.95 for 6
months.... And it can't get much fresher than direct from the FCC
database (which is free at www.fcc.gov) or from the FAA's own aircraft
database (which is free at www.avweb.com)....

Agree there, George. I used the FCC web site to find out if a few call
signs used on an old TV show were in fact real.
They are and are still used, and the FCC web site returned very detailed
information about each one of them.

In Canada (for Canadian scanner hobbyists).

Industry Canada web site for frequency search (can be geographic by
frequency or call sign). Industy Canada is equivalent to the FCC in the
United States. There are a number of web sites in Canada that offer quick
access to Industry Canada's TAFL (Technical and Admistrative Frequency
List ) frequency search:

(http://sd.ic.gc.ca/pls/eng_alpha/web...raphical_input) Is the
Industry Canada/Strategis frequency search page.
Very detailed selection of information. I use this once and awhile to 'strip
mine' frequencies (and used it to compile a frequency list for southwestern
B.C.) It is very detailed (and returns exact geographical information), but
the results can be reduced to eliminate the more detailed returned
information.

For lesser complications in searches, another web site
(http://neon.polkaroo.net/~darkwing/tafl/) can be used. It lists
in order Tx Rx, geographic location of the frequencies and the licensee.
It's pre-programmed to return results from
the TAFL web site, but only the four columns of data.

Canadian Aviation web site (http://www.canairradio.com/) lists aviation
related frequenices. Also has other avionic related
stuff.

No need to subscribe to something that can be accessed for free which is
paid for by the taxpayers.

Wouldn't spend $19.95 U.S. for a web site subscription to government
information that can be had for free if one takes the
time in doing spelunking.

Additional frequencies are available through local scanner web sites.

What I would like to see somewhere are downloadable scanned avation charts
(low flight topographical and high level vector flight lines) for North
America, something to take along on a flight. Airport aviation charts are
easily found.

Your milair resources are excellent, the refuelling tracks were fascinating
as McChord Air Force Base and Whidbey Island NAS are jsut down the road in
Western Washington.
