Does anyone know of a "good" listing/directory of either U.S. or North
American AM broacst band stations ---- with cross listings by call-sign,
frequency, location and possibly radiated power?

In other words, a broadcast band DXer's "bible". There surely must be
one --- or is BCB DXing not the hobby it once was?

Thanks,

Hi David,

Right next to me, The World Radio & Television Handbook (WRTH).

Not only AM, but SW, FM, and TV for every country in the world.

A good online source is:

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html

where you can look up listings for cities, states, frequencies, or by
call sign, or by radius around a certain locale, or by map coordinates
if you know them -- with all pertinent info on each station.

Unless they have added a lot in the last 3 or 4 years, WRTH's domestic MW
listings are pathetic*. White's Radio Log is long gone, unfortunately, so
Dave's best bet is to contact the "National Radio Club" which specializes in
BCB DX (until BPL and digital take care of that). Run NRC through Google,
Dave, they have a large web presence.

*example starting at the low end: WRTH lists 2 stations on 550 kHz. A very
old (1975) pattern book from NRC lists 22 US stations.

Got it! Thanks. WRTH is a bit of overkill for me. I couldn't care less about
TV in Kenya!

Hi George,

84 pages of double column listings is pathetic? Compared to what?

I see 14 US stations listed for 550KHz not 2:
KENI
KQY
KUZZ
KRAI
WDUN
KFRM
KUSA
KBOW
WGR
KFYR
WKRC
KOAC
WJMW
KCRS

On a casual glance, the shortest listing for any AM frequency has 10
stations and the longest listing has 44 (and it is hard to tell if it
is the longest because there are so many of apparent equal length - in
at least 25 frequencies).

You are looking in the United States country listing for large
stations. The comprehensive coverage for all AM stations is found in
the back. Quite a difference!
