Could not get in the last couple of days, it states... permission denied must register IP address....is this another pay deal in this great economy decline under the new administration....

I just tried and had no problem.

Another site to try is Radio Station World.http://radiostationworld.com/Locations/United_States_of_America/Pennsylvania/radio.asp?m=phi
It has a direct link to FCC data & other good stuff.

Thanks for the great info, now its working, must of been down for maintenance, just wish they would inform everyone who visits whats going on...thanks again....I noticed on the other site you cannot view the x-mtr locations, I was just curious because years back there was the traffic info on 530 and the xmtr was located on 7th and Packer Avenue near the foot of the WWB. They have been off the air a long time, I wonder if they are back and if they are at the same location, the antenna is still up with the x-mtr box beside it....

For Transmitter sites click on the "F".That will take you to the FCC website.Then click on one of the choices for the Maps: Region Map Area Map Local Map

Although the "coverage maps" at radio-locator.com are notoriously inaccurate, they do present different information than the polar pattern plots at the FCC Web site. The maps would be much more useful, however, and would nicely complement the information on the polar pattern plots if only radio-locator would stop suggesting that daytime coverage of Class B, C, and D AMs extended to the 0.15 mV/m contour and that nighttime coverage of these stations extended to the 0.5 mV/m contour, whereas it extends that far only for Class A AMs and extends as far as the 2.5 mV/m contour for only a few stations of lesser class. Even with those changes, the radio-locator maps would have major problems (the maps are based on M-3 soil conductivity, which often differs considerably from measured conductivity), but radio-loactor could correctly argue that it has no way of obtaining the measured conductivity values for most stations.
