The Station Location and Information project provides an convenient way to view 
and extract information on AM, FM, and TV broadcast stations.  It uses data 
maintained and provided by the US Federal Communications Commission at 
http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Mass_Media/Databases/cdbs/.  Stations can be 
selected by proximity to a location, band of operation, and frequency.

Two interfaces are available: a command-line client which produces a brief 
summary of information on all stations meeting the supplied search criteria; 
and a GUI client built using the Gtk graphical toolkit which provides a 
convenient interactive view of the data.

I have already developed an initial version of this software.  While I have not 
posted this code anywhere, you can get an idea of where I would like to take 
this project by visiting http://radiostation.com/kodis/ to see an earlier 
project of mine that serves a similar purpose.  My experience with this web 
page leads me to believe that there is significant interest in a project of 
this type among shortwave listeners, broadcast station engineers, and general 
listeners.
