What happened with the Am Logbook?

[gar hi]

I've had the AM stations by frequency in my favorites for so long and the link has been broken for a while now.

http://www.amlogbook.com/freq/freq.htm

Is there another location now?

I can't imagine AM DXing without it.

There are many options, but the one that came to mind is AM QUERY from the FCC website. Just google or bing it and it will come up. Just put in the frequency you want and any other options, and you will have a list.

If you don't want all of North and South America listed, you can limit it to the US, Canada, Mexico, or any other country.

gar. I too miss the site.

I believe I read that the site owner has other priorities that required his closing down the website. I can only imagine how time consuming it must have been to keep the AM logbook site up to date and accurate, and I thank Lee Freshwater for doing so.

At the suggestion of a poster on another thread, this is what I've been using since losing AM Logbook as a source.

[gar hi]

Thanks for the links! I appreciate it.

Topaz Designs is the best! I've typed in UNID graveyard calls, like once I had a 1340 that sounded like "KTFM". Typed it up in the "fuzzy" mode and got my only NV GY station - KTSN Elko NV with an ID.

I've been using the topaz design; it seems to be quite accurate, and just bookmarked the website that KR4BD provided.

The usual caution applies when using any site that either is the FCC (AM Query) or draws all its data from the FCC (Radio-Locator, FCCInfo, AM-DX FCCList):

For stations outside the United States and its territories, what's listed is not - and is not intended to be - an accurate representation of what's actually on the air. The foreign listings in the FCC's database are there to tell US licensees and applicants what's supposed to be protected by international treaty. As a result, they can and do include stations that have long since gone silent but are still "notified internationally", as well as planned stations that have never been built and in some cases will never be built.

Only a handful of sites provide data that go beyond the FCC's international listings. The topazdesign site is accurate for Canadian listings. The CDBS search function at recnet.com (http://recnet.com/cdbs/) has a pulldown menu for "search in Canadian database," which allows a search in a cached version of Industry Canada's BASERAD database. (Which, in turn, shows what the FCC reports internationally for US stations, not what's actually in the FCC database.) The National Radio Club's AM Log, which is available only in print (either directly through the club at nrcdxas.org or through store.fybush.com), shows actual Canadian and some Mexican operation as confirmed by hundreds of DXers. We used to provide accurate Canadian listings (at least in border markets) at 100000watts.com, but that site is now defunct.
