This is from the tools section of the FCC Broadcast Site. Punch in your NAD27 coordinates and then the distance in kilomters from your antenna and it creates a nice map. You can add multiple ranges and colors to show the difference between clock radio range and car radio range from your station.

Find longitude and latitude from a street address or intersection here:

geocoder.us

After you get the results, look for my new favorite word. It's in the bottom portion of the results text

"disambiguate"

EEEK!

Experimental broadcasting for a better tomorrow!

Thanks SCWIS. For those who have Google Earth loaded, you may also achieve the same results by plugging in the address of your station. The NAD27 results appear at the bottom.

I used it to create a map of listeners and potential listeners. Its a great tool for letting people Know your range and getting them to search for you signal I have turned many people in to active underdog radio DXers and get calls from people well out of the range on the map who are picking up my signal in a car or truck. When it was 20 bellow zero out and calm I got a call from my father in law who could hear the signal from 5 miles from my station. To bad it wasn't like that allways.
