AM Radio Station Overlay Maps
This is a collection of .kml files showing the location and frequencies of all licensed AM radio stations in the US. It is useful if you still have a working Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) in your airplane. While the Non-Directional Beacons (NDB) are being decomissioned, there are still a lot of radio stations which can help you find your way.
In these overlays, labels show the frequency and radiated power is indicated by three colors of symbols: blue - <4000W, green - 4000 - 20000W, red - > 20000W. The description for each contains the call sign. Ready to use by downloading and then loading into your favorite Electronic Flight Bag application or Google Earth.
