MWLIST worldwide mediumwave & longwave database

Dear radio listeners and DXers,
This is a friendly invitaion to MWLIST (Mediumwave List) , welcome to MWLIST, this is a new easy to use free public worldwide software database of mediumwave & longwave broadcast stations.

Additionaly, bandscans or logs can instantly be created or edited using the PHP online MyAM tool included in MWLIST. This makes creating bandscans much easier and handled more practicaly, export in csv spreapsheet format is possible, this can be converted to excel or other formats. The regular html format can easliy be copied and added elsewhere. Bandscans can be linked directly to other websites and logs easily copied into forums or mailing lists. Our team wants to follow a new concept and our goal is to create a much more diverse and much more usable software and data resource than ever before for broadcast radio. This database software can be used also as a framework for exporting or presenting radio station data on other websites, if you are interested in becoming a partner website of MWLIST, please see contact details below.

For AM and MW DXers worldwide, Interested in AM radio - MW DXing - LW DXing?
Why not join the MWLIST project!
MWLIST is a (non-commercial, hobby-made) worldwide database of MW & LW radio stations
We feature world-wide data and seek:
- Data sources for MW radio from all around the world
- Collaborators as country editors and news reporters from all over the world
- More location or transmitter details, more technical details
- MW DXers to make use of the data for logs, bandscans and further reception analysis
MWLIST includes map, logs and bandscan features, data is available on-line, you can download it as PDF file or convert logs to a spreadsheet format. Direct linking of any bandscan is possible. Please let us know what you think about this project, or notify us about any missing stations and more corrections. Please have a look at http://www.mwlist.org/  or get in touch with us at: glorenz@lorenzsoft.de
the first major update for MWLIST data from North America (CAN and USA) is now complete, these first steps included converting coordinates to precisce arcsecond readings, updating station names and call signs, removing or updating inactive stations in Canada, a few coordinates on Caribbean islands. Additionaly data for many locations in Asia was updated including precisce coordinates. This means that if you now go to the MWLIST country list and select to show a transmitter map CAN or the US you can see amost all transmitters at once on Google Earth, try it out! The next planned major update includes adding low power MW and TIS stations from CAN and the US, plus updating coordinates from Mexico to arcsecond readings. Next we plan to integrate day and night antenna diagram maps for US MW transmitters. Another big data update is planned for Brasil including very presisce coordinates, already a few stations like 1220 Radio Globo use arcsecond coordinates (visible on a map link).
Any reports or suggestions, comments are most welcome. Reports can easily be done using the interface of the database software, anyone wanting to edit or update data can join our team.
Thanks for your attention and best regards
