I use this more user friendly means to access the database:

This rather unwieldy URL leads to a BIG list of MW broadcast stations. It
seems to be the entire Western Hemisphere; I'm sure someone will correct me
if I'm wrong. It's a big page. Here's a couple of sample lines:

WFLF AM 540 kHz DA2 Daytime B B LIC PINE HILLS
FL US BL-19921211AD 50.0 kW 51970 N 28 22 52.00 W 81 47
31.00 4 Eastern CLEAR CHANNEL BROADCASTING LICENSES, INC.

WFLF AM 540 kHz DA2 Nighttime B B LIC PINE HILLS
FL US BL-19921211AD 50.0 kW 51970 N 28 22 52.00 W 81 47
31.00 6 Eastern CLEAR CHANNEL BROADCASTING LICENSES, INC.

"PM"


Yup...Thats what I use. You know it's up to date..Most of my books are
getting old and miss many new stations in the upper end of the band.
Also, you see exact location, power, who owns it, "does Clear Channel
own them all now? :/ Almost seems like it... " You can also tab over
and look at their site and antenna data. I see some of the new
stations are running newer "weird" power levels for MW. IE: I have
seen some with real super low power, "in the past 250w was kind of the
standard low end rating" and then oddball ratings like maybe 31 KW or
whatever for some...It seems the "standard" 250,500,1K, 5k,10k,50k
ratings are kind of going out the window in many cases of the new
stations. MK
