I want to do some RF coverage plots (theoretical) of the VHF/UHF
repeaters in East Texas. I am looking for repeater callsigns,
frequencies and Lat/Lon of the sites within a 100 feet or so. (Pref in
WGS84)

I dont seem to be able to find it in the FCC database. It seems to omit
amateur stations altogether.

There is no requirement at all for amateur repeaters to be registered
with the FCC, and as far as I know they do not make any attempt to
maintain such a database. The FCC stopped requiring registration of
amateur station locations, in most cases, some decades ago.

The best information you're likely to find would be from your local
repeater frequency coordination council or organization. See the
ARRL's page at http://www.arrl.org/nfcc/coordinators.htm to find your
coordinator.

There's a couple of further gotchas, though. Many repeaters are not
coordinated (there's no legal requirement that they be coordinated, as
long as they aren't interfering with other repeaters), and many
repeater owners are reluctant to publish the actual location of their
repeater sites (for fear of vandalism or theft, I suspect).

You can find some information about repeaters on the ArtSci Publications
page at www.artscipub.com/repeaters/, and the ARRL has a repeater
directory and, I think, a version on CD-ROM. As far as detailed
coverage analysis goes, though, I suspect that neither will have the
detailed latitude/longitude/altitude information you'd need to do any
sort of high-definition coverage maps in areas with hills.
