Thanks. That's a good chuck of decent Info. I'll create a PHP script to pull out all the FAA data.

That's an interesting website, too.(y)


Well, I initially created this in PHP, but realized many may not want to mess with that. So I had the script converted to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I also added perks. Like the ability to search withen frequency ranges and if coordinates are provided a small map will render for that data block of information.

To use, double click the HTML file. Then using the browse button chose the included NTIAgovtMasterFile_2021.txt file I had converted to text from the PDF.

Enjoy!

Thanks. What I noticed is that if there are some 1,000 results or more the maps will take a long time to load, and also the results take a while to load. So I'm going to see if I can add code that will show 10 results per page to lessen that load a little. So bear with me here a bit and I should have a new version ready by tonight I hope. One of the disadvantages of a browser based App.

Also note that if you want to search for one frequency like 121.5 just enter in the range box 121.5-121.5. This can also be combined with a search term. For example: you want all results for "fire" relating to a range of frequencies of 118.0-130.0. Keep in mind there will probably be over a 1,000 results. That's why the omission option is there to help better filter things...

How complete is this file ? I just did a quick search of some known Boston, New York and Cleveland Center ARTCC frequencies and none of them seem to be listed ?
Feb 2021 release from a FOIA request
Doesn't imply that it contain all as certain agencies may have frequencies flagged as restricted, there-by not released

ie: There is quite a few of USFS, BLM listed., but none for the White Mountains NF as it is likely they flagged those as also LE (Law Enforcement)

I'm just talking about standard air traffic control frequencies (re: the OP). These frequencies are not restricted as they appear in other FAA documents. When I have more time I'll take a closer look but from what I've seen so far it seems that "MasterFile" is missing large areas of ARTCC frequency coverage.

Since Non of us, true hobbyists, have access (or will admit in public, for obvious reason) to Spectrum XXI, we can only assume that the data record for those not provided contain a FLAG that prohibited them from being released as part of the FOIA request.

I see plenty of VA's but none of my VA Police
I see plenty of USFS Repeaters, but many missing.

Just one of life's mysteries when dealing with the NTIA records.
