This program shows a polar-projection map of the northern part of Region 2 (Western hemisphere) with the patterns of all AM radio stations in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Cuba, on a specified Frequency, with the map centered on a user-specified "home" location.
Click on "Home" to enter your home location either by selecting a city in a listbox, or on another listbox of "K" calls, or on a third listbox of "W" calls. Or you can manually place entries in a pair of textboxes for latitude and longitude. Regardless of the entry method, the map is then centered on that location.
Click on "Licensed" and see only licensed stations. Click on that button again and see the default listings (all, including Planned, Applications and Construction Permits). Note that outside the USA all stations are considered licensed.
Click on "GetDistance" and you can find the bearing and distance to a city or to a "K" or "W" station. Or you can enter in an arbitrary latitude and longitude.
Click on "GetData" and you can do a search for call letters, cities, states and more by having the program step through the database for the frequency you last entered. The data for each station is then shown in a list box, including the location, hours of operation, latitude and longitude, power level and number of towers. This is especially useful after you have zoomed in on a location and clicked on "ShowAll."
While on that screen, click on a station in the list and see the pattern for that station, using the mode, location, power and number of towers shown on that line of information.
Click "Zoom-in" or "Zoom-out" to change the size of the map of the states (and country outlines).
Click "Larger" or "Smaller" to change the stations' pattern sizes relative to the map of the states.
One of the selectable options is a Compass rose to tell the direction of a station from the home location.
