TAFL Ontario Data

[Forts]

Does anyone know where the TAFL (or whatever the hell it's called these days) has moved to? I previously was able to access it from here:

ONTARIO REGION TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FREQUENCY LIST (TAFL) REPORT - Open Government Portal

However the link no longer works for the dataset. According to the comments at the bottom of the page the data has been moved elsewhere, but no mention of where that is...

Ok... so where the heck do you find decent data there? From the link I posted I could pull a report of all licensed data, such as:

464337500 464337500 "OTTAWA, ON (45 GURWARA RD.)" HLS Linen Services 11K0F3EJN

which would give you lots of great data that you could filter out..... It's super handy for searching by emission type (TRBO etc) or of course by frequency.

Scroll down to data search.

Geographic Area
Licence Number
Single Frequency
Call Sign or Station Name

On those screens is where ya ask it to put this info in it.

I thought you would've been all over the site long ago.

Thanks!! I'll look into that. I used the previous site before and it worked great. I'd just bring it into Excel and filter out what I didn't want.


.... aaaand naturally I can't get a search to work. The wheels spin and eventually the page times out. Blah.

The government records are terrible. Obviously many services are not listed like law enforcement but many users are either obsolete or not listed either.

I am aware of 2 users that are operating on unassigned freq. IC has been informed but it appears that they are not inclined to do anything about it. The only recent activity rumored that IC has done is shut down a construction crew using 123.45 aircraft portables for traffic control and ditch digging.

Try TAFL Search with Google Maps Output. Jonathan is pretty good at updating the database on a monthly basis. It is all map driven and the current licence info is there that you can search on IC. The emissions that it shows, is using the current format. You can send it to a table format that you can import into excel, so you can import the info in most of the current software.
