To all users of the ILG Frequency Database:

As all of you know, A full-featured radio control program allows for
scanning
and a host of other functions and, in particular, integration of
shortwave
databases in real-time, like a "TV-Guide" type capability.

This is particularly helpful in locating all transmissions on all
frequencies of
a particular broadcaster, at any given time.

The most widely used free shortwave database was provided by a German
company at
ILGRadio. As of late 2006 they suspended the public broadcast database
project
and it is uncertain if they are going to resume it.

Since I and several friends of mine are Racal 6790/GM users, we have
used the
ILG Database for sometime to help control our receivers.

With the ILG project now closed to the public, we figured it was time
to
re-establish a public database that uses the same format as the ILG
database.

Myself and others jumped into the project and have created a web
accessable
ILG compatable database and have made it available to the public for
free.

We have also made a few interesting updates.

First of all, if one signs up for the automatic distribution ( again
free ) you
have now the ability to make enteries on your own findings for others
to share.
Also you have voting rights on the frequencies logged in the
database. That
means, it takes five votes to remove a listing from the logging
database.

This is a user created and user controlled ILG type database. You
control it,
you make it grow and keep it updated, and you get to use it for free
for doing
so. The members then can remove bogus or invalid listings by voting on
the
listing.

The database is also made available to the public even if you do not
sign up,
however, you will not have voting or entry rights and most importantly
you will
not be able to receive the automated distribution.

Yes, thats right, through a special arrangement between us and
Docuchannel.net
we have provided a free automated distribution of the database as it
is updated
and is then sent directly to your PC for your software to read and
use.

To get more information or to sign up go to our website

http://www.ioc.com and select the Ham database.

From there you can see the database or you can sign up. When you sign
up,
you will also automatically be given an account on DocuChannel.net and
your
user login information will be emailed to you. NO CHARGES and nothing
to
purchase.

Then all you need do is sign in to Docuchannel.net and run the
receiver
software. Nothing to install, nothing to purchase, just enjoy the new
discoveries as others log them.

I hope you will use the system that we developed and that you find it
usefull as
we have.


Good listening!!
