Good Day all,

I'm looking for a listing (by frequency) for all FM broadcast stations
in the US.

I'm attempting to monitor the broadcast band to (possibly) predict
when the 144 Mhz ham band might be opening (by monitoring the MUF).

When I hear a station that I normally don't hear on the FM broadcast
band, it might indicate that the 144 Mhz band is open in the same
direction.

I googled, but got very little.

Years ago, White's Radio Log publised lists such as this, by there
appears to be no such publication these days.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Art

I think you have to select at least one search criterion - I'd do it a
state at a time. (I'm betting station listings in California won't do
you much goodgrin!)

It is also possible to download the underlying databases from
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/databases/cdbs/ . There are multiple tables,
you'll really need some kind of database system like Access or MySQL to
make use of these. The tables you need are fm_eng_data and facility.

A list for Canada is on
http://spectrum.ic.gc.ca/infoback/dgse/dbf/baserad.zip . This is a
single .ZIP file that includes AM, FM, and TV. Unzip it in a temporary
folder, and use a spreadsheet program to open FMSTATIO.DBF.

Years ago, White's Radio Log publised lists such as this, by there
appears to be no such publication these days.

The FM Atlas (http://members.aol.com/fmatlas/home.html) has pretty much
taken over for White's. I don't remember White's as being all that
accurate anyway...

Try the FCC Data Base URL:

Also the DX packet clusters will announce 6M and 2M openings URL:

Ah Whites Radio Log -- used it back in the 40-50's -- a winner. But lots of
info on the internet now.
