Default MW DX Utility Released

Howdy folks,

The [FREE] WTS (Where's That Station?) MW DX Utility for Windows®
has been released and is now available for download. Visit:

http://www.dobe.com/wts/

The four databases used by WTS:

- North American Medium Wave (AM/BCB) Stations
- U.S. Zipcodes
- Station Keywords and Slogans
- U.S. and Canadian Telephone Area Codes

are also available as individual downloads. Come on over and take
a peek.

Best Regards,

Eric Force

C:\ongrats! Looks very nice.

How about a Unix/Linux version?

Seems to be a few stations missing.. ones that I know are on the air, and
where they are.

Thanks Gregg,

Sorry, but a Unix/Linux (or Mac) version is highly unlikely - at least
in the forseeable future - I don't have the expertise nor software tools
to program for those environments.

Best Regards,

Eric

Brenda,

There's more than a "few" stations missing from the MW database if you
use the total number as currently listed in the FCC database. I chose to
list (and maintain) about 6900 unique North American stations for the
initial release of WTS.

Let me know which stations you are referring to and I'll get them in the
database.

Many thanks!

Eric

I'll be happy to help, rather than just complain. The software is quite
nice, congrats!!

Many thanks Brenda! ... both for your kind words and offer to help. Please
email me with anything you think should be added or corrected.

All the Best!

Eric

That really looks nice! How long will this software be free? I bet you'll wanna
be paid once you discover how much time you spend just keeping the data
current.


Many thanks - really appreciate the kind words. With respect to your
question "How long will it be free", this "edition" will remain free
indefinitely. But there is a reason "for my madness". Please visit the
following URL for details:

I would love something like this for LW beacons... i.e., just key in the CW
dots and dashes and freq, and presto!


As noted by N8KDV's note, there are a couple of excellent online
resources that provide basic information. If I can locate a database of
essential information, I may be able to program WTS such that, unlike
the online resources, distance and bearing information relative to your
QTH would also be displayed. Of course, it would also permit searches
based only on CW ID's. (i.e. the dits and dahs) :-)

Best Regards,

Eric Force
