AUSTRALIA - "RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS RECORD OF LICENCES"

The complete listing of all official broadcasting services in
Australia is available from the Website of the Australian
Communications Authority.

This is a real-time searchable database of licence details for all
radio and TV services (LF, MF, HF, VHF, UHF, Satellite), (excluding
amateur), and it includes powers, emission designators, transmitter
site locations, antenna characteristics, addresses, owners,
operational dates, frequencies, callsigns, and lots more.

The database is updated daily, and it may be interrogated by order of
specific frequency, or by a frequency range (inputting lower and upper
frequency limits).

The dataBase is titled "RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS RECORD OF LICENCES".

It has several hundred thousand entries, and it may also be purchased
as a CD-ROM for A$117.70. A 12-month subscription is available for
A$1680.80, which includes daily updates, which would put this out of
reach to most hobbyists!

It may be accessed at:

http://www.sma.gov.au/database/radcomm/freq.htm

This product would also be useful for medium-wave monitors interested
in the extended-band services licenced from Australia, between 1611
and 1701 kHz.

Note that the data refers to authorised licenses issued, which would
include actual operational services. Data is given for many
aspirational and on-air services on MF and VHF, such as the
low-powered narrowcast and short-term services which are now
proliferating across the nation. You will find current HF allocations
for Radio Australia, the ABC's Northern Territory Service, Christian
Voice, VNG, and everything else which uses the spectrum!

You may also view the detailed Licence Terms for any station, which
may include technical operational restrictions. The Conditions for
Christian Voice, Darwin, make for interesting reading!
