Technical Data

[PaulBWalkerJr]

hello All:

The FCC's site (fcc.gov) has an AM, FM and TV Query page where you can look up technical data such as ERP, HAAT and other informaiton on FCC licenses.

I'm interested in looking that up for 2 FM stations and 1 TV station in British Columbia.

Can someone point me to the CRTC page where I can research this?

That will list every radio station in the province (including translaters and low powered stations) each by city. The link that says British Columbia on the top in blue, if you click on that you will see a link that says view all British Columbia Television by city. That should give you everything you need.

Is there anywhere that provides Transmitter location, Height Above Average Terrain(HAAT) and other technical information from the licensee?

But is that an official Gov't site with a searchable database like the FCC has?

It's not an official governmet site, no, but you can search for every radio station and tv station in every town in Canada with it, as well as abroad, it's amazingly up to date. As far as I don't know any sites that will tell you average height above terrain and transmitter locations. But that is the closest I could come up with as far as what was being asked for, I hope you were able to find the stations you were lo0king for.

Check out the REC site:

Just type in the calls of the station you're looking for in the "Callsign" box and indicate whether it's in the U.S. or Canada. You can also get data for an entire market by using the "City" box on the second line. This has been an excellent source of information for me since I discovered it about a year ago.

There is no official government site with a searchable database.

You can download the official government data files from <a href="http://spectrum.ic.gc.ca/engineerin...m.ic.gc.ca/engineering/engdoc/baserad.zip</a>. You get a single ZIP file that contains a bunch of .DBFs; Excel (and other spreadsheets) can read the .DBFs, or you can download a program that converts them to text files.
