Formats
There are hundreds of formats listed in the WTFDA database. Here you will find a listing of the most common formats. Enter them exactly as you see them in the format field of the database. The most common searches are by frequency & format and state & format.
Results are displayed below this display header. Ten fields are
searchable. Each field (column) is sortable (except for remarks). Sometimes using a
combination of searching and sorting will yield the results you are
looking for.
The Orig field - This field is used mostly for translators. It indicates the
station originating the programming. That station could be either an AM station,
another FM station or the HD2 or HD3 of an existing HD FM station. These
originators could change at a moment's notice and we try to keep them up to
date.
Use the language pull down menu to search for stations broadcasting in
languages other than English. Use the country pull down menu to select the country.
RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System). The United States uses the RBDS system, not
RDS as in other parts of the world. RBDS info in this database consists of
the following fields: PI (Program ID)code, PS (Program service) info, Radiotext
and Pty (program type). Of most interest to FM Dxers is the PI, since in almost
all cases, the transmitted code can be easily converted to the station's
callsign. The PS is also valuable, although less so than previously since many
stations now transmit the song title and artist with sometimes just a passing
reference to their slogan. PI and Pty decode much faster than either PS or
radiotext. To find a station from its PI code, the PI code MUST be entered in
upper case or the result will be nothing. RDS Pty codes differ slightly from
RBDS Pty codes. Pty codes received from stations outside the US may look
different if decoded on a radio using the RBDS system. Some of our PI codes also
show three letter codes which are displayed by Sangean HD radios, in addition to
the usual hexidecimal PI codes.
The Mode field has three options: HD indicates the station broadcasts in hybrid
digital mode, M indicates monaural transmission and Silent indicates that the
station is not on the air at this time.
Longitude (W)
and latitude (N)are
shown in degrees, minutes and seconds. Thus 75-17-26 is 75 degrees, 17
minutes and 26 seconds. US territories west of Hawaii are not included in this
database.

NOTE: FOR SEARCHES OF ALL SPANISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES
You MUST use the proper Spanish spelling to obtain results! The Spanish language
uses tilde (accent) marks on many words. These tilde marks (')are used to accent certain
sylables. For example, a search for "Extasis" will not yield any results unless
a tilde (accent) mark is placed over the letter E, resulting in "�xtasis".
Please use the proper form. If you are using a smartphone or tablet, it should be easy
to select an accented vowel or the �. If you are working on a PC, please follow this
link, which takes you to a help page for your particular operating system-

SEARCH EXAMPLES
*To search for all translators in Ohio, type W2 in the callsign field and type OH in the state field.
This will yield Channels 201-299. Type W3 instead for all translators on 107.9.
*To search for
all LPFMs in Nevada, type -LP in the callsign field and type NV in the state field.
*To search the entire United States, leave the state field empty.
*To list all stations in Rhode Island in order from 88.1 to 107.9, type RI in the
state field and when you get the results, go to the results table and click on
frequency. This will sort your results from 88.1 to 107.9. Click it again
to resort your results from 107.9 to 88.1 instead. THIS WORKS ON ALL FIELDS.
*If a search fails, check your spelling! A format search for all stations that call
themselves Relevant Radio will not work if Relevent Radio is entered instead. Be correct and precise.
*Typing KBJ in the callsign field will yield all stations having those letters, in that order, somewhere in their callsign.
*If no country is selected in the country drop down menu, the database will output results from ALL countries
and you may end up with results you didn't ask for.
This is Doug
Smith's original program and will work with US callsigns and some Canadian callsigns.
It
will not work outside of North America.

A nautical mile is based on the circumference
of the earth, and is equal to one minute of latitude.
It is slightly more than a statute (land measured) mile
(1 nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles
). Nautical miles are used for charting and navigating. Use statute
miles for your output.
