Wil you be travelling along the coast? If so, maybe we can get together.
|
|||
|
|
What FCC data files are you getting, and how do you get them? I've been
|
|||
|
|
trying to get info from the FCC on how I can get frequency info. I am sure
|
|||
|
|
that there must be some place (Washington, DC?) where a citizen can spend an
|
|||
|
|
afternoon going through printouts, microfiche, computer terminals, etc. to
|
|||
|
|
search for frequencies by location. But damned if I can get them to tell me
|
|||
|
|
anything concrete!

Te easiest thing to do is call the National Technical Information Service in
|
|||
|
|
Springfield Virginia at this number (703) 487-4807 and request the price for
|
|||
|
|
PB-89-902401 State Index to Non-Government Master Frequency Data Base PB-89-
|
|||
|
|
902301 Licensee Name Index to Non-Gov Master Freq data base PB-890902501
|
|||
|
|
Callsign Index to Non-Gov Master Freq Data Base e I usually buy the State
|
|||
|
|
index and Licensee Index since they cost much less than the Master. The last
|
|||
|
|
price I had on the Master List was over $400.00. The Index files are appx.
|
|||
|
|
$45.00 The State index is by State, by City, and by Frequency. This will
|
|||
|
|
help you find out who in town has a radio. This is by the transmitter
|
|||
|
|
location though, onot city of operation. The Licensee name index is listed by
|
|||
|
|
whoever has the license. You will find that Security Companies and Wrecker
|
|||
|
|
companies are usually licensed to some person or something weird. They are
|
|||
|
|
hard to locate. I haven't bought the Callsign index ever. GOOD LUCK........It
|
|||
|
|
is the government you will be dealing with. By the way, this is on microfiche
|
|||
|
|
and you will need to borrow or purchase a microfiche viewer. (Public Library)
|
|||
|
|
They arn't very expensive if you can locate a company that deals in them.
|
|||
|
|
Try and locate one of the larger companies and they usually have some rental
|
|||
|
|
returns.
|
|||
|
|
Buy one of them. As long as the mirrors are in one piece and the lens ok then
|
|||
|
|
you are in business. The bulbs can be replaces for less than $25.00.All that
|
|||
|
|
is left is the fan motor (some don't have them). I have a Northwest Microfilm
|
|||
|
|
Inc NMI 75 and it is just great. Be sure and get a 48X lens or maybe one
|
|||
|
|
size less.
|
|||
|
|
Thnks for the info! I will call them. You say that the State Index lists
|
|||
|
|
businesses by city, but does not give the callsign? How about info on numbers
|
|||
|
|
of base/mobile/repeater stations? Can't I also look up this info at an FCC
|
|||
|
|
office?
|
|||
|
|
It does give the call sign. This is only an index file (one of three) for the
|
|||
|
|
Master Frequency Listing which gives all the info on the license. The Master
|
|||
|
|
is very expensive and also available on 9-track tape. You can get a Call Sign
|
|||
|
|
Index, Name Index, and the State Index. From what I understand you can look
|
|||
|
|
up this info at the FCC on their computers but you do need to have a part of
|
|||
|
|
the information. I have never done that so I don't know what kind of hassle
|
|||
|
|
you will go through.

Ifyou have a frequency that you can't locate aot need some help, give this a
|
|||
|
|
try. I have the complete FCC data files from a couple of years back and will
|
|||
|
|
be willing to give a hand if you are looking for some unknown frequency. At
|
|||
|
|
this time the current data file hasn't been released but I hope to have it
|
|||
|
|
shortly. Therefore......... Give me as much information as you can on the
|
|||
|
|
agency or company that has the radio system that you are having trouble with.
|
|||
|
|
I have the files listed by Company/Agency and also by TRANSMITTER location.
|
|||
|
|
Sorry, I don't have a call sign list but you can include this also so I know
|
|||
|
|
that I have it the correct company/agency. If you are able to give height of
|
|||
|
|
antenna on the mobile units this will help also. This will be for private
|
|||
|
|
<RETURN>, <S>croll, <Q>uit ?s
|
|||
|
|
companies, public safety agencies, and news media. I I can promise that I
|
|||
|
|
will be able to find what you are looking for but there is a pretty good
|
|||
|
|
chance that we will be succesful. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. It
|
|||
|
|
will help me build my database foconfirmed frequencies. REMEMBER: I need the
|
|||
|
|
name of company/agency, Transmitter location(state city) and possibly the
|
|||
|
|
frequency area.

Hey, that sounds like a great resource. Is there a way an Average Joe could
|
|||
|
|
get hold of such a list? I would assume that the FCC (as a Gov't Agency)
|
|||
|
|
would be releasing such a thing for a nominal fee.... should compress quite
|
|||
|
|
well, too!
|
|||
|
|
Ye the FCC database is available from the National Technical Information
|
|||
|
|
Service - Springfield Virginia. They have the database available in
|
|||
|
|
Microfiche for about $45.00 a set. This is a condensed listing sorted by
|
|||
|
|
either Call Sign, Licensee, or Location. I have been purchasing the Licensee
|
|||
|
|
and Location sets each year for the past several years. They sell to the
|
|||
|
|
average Joe (that's me) and will even put you on a subscription for a yearly
|
|||
|
|
fee. It is really difficult to figure out what you want and then tell them.
|
|||
|
|
Being part of the Government it is much harder than it should be. The best
|
|||
|
|
bet would be to contact NTIS at (703)-487-4650 and find out the number you
|
|||
|
|
need to call to get a catalogue for the FCC database on Microfiche. The
|
|||
|
|
listings include the complete United States and are very good. You will also
|
|||
|
|
need a microfiche vieweror possibly you can go to the library and borrow
|
|||
|
|
theirs I found that this doesn't work to well so I bought my own.

I've heard that the list is also avaialble as a computer file. Any info on
|
|||
|
|
this ??????

I'l check on that. Since it's on Fiche, it should be on a computer
|
|||
|
|
somewhere. I do have a friend with a 9=track, so if worse comes to worse,
|
|||
|
|
there is always that route. If I can get a computer-readable copy, I'll ARC
|
|||
|
|
it (since 'most everybody can deal with that) and upload it. (GEnie'll love
|
|||
|
|
me if I put up such a beast and it's 500K... EVERYONE will download it... :-)
|
|||
|
|
And, since your tax dollars paid for it, you can do whatever you wnat with
|
|||
|
|
it: including printing it and SELLING portions.

You will love this request, but since I don't use an IBM, would it be
|
|||
|
|
possible for you to upload it as an UNARCED file? Would help us 'other users'
|
|||
|
|
out.

Today I was able to place the order for the current edition of the FCC
|
|||
|
|
database. Should have it in a couple of weeks since I placed a rush order
|
|||
|
|
on it. If you are looking for the frequency of any local agency/business then
|
|||
|
|
leave me a message in this topic. I will do my best to locate it for you.
|
|||
|
|
There will be no charge, just upload (no charge for upload time) you
|
|||
|
|
frequency database or listing for us to use on the BIG PROJECT!!!! I won't
|
|||
|
|
check to see if you have uploaded anything but sure wish we could get
|
|||
|
|
everyone's help.
|
|||
|
|
There is no promise that I will be able to locate the agency in question but
|
|||
|
|
have had a pretty high precentage of success in the past. REMEMBER: This is a
|
|||
|
|
free service offered by me only and is in no way connected with GEnie -
|
|||
|
|
yet......
