Pukool (tm) lets you do a reverse lookup on broadcast frequency, and is in
the public domain. It uses the FCCÕs 20 Mb. facility.dat file, which
may probably still be downloadable from

ftp://ftp.fcc.gov/pub/Bureaus/Mass_Media/Databases/facility.zip

Absolutely no warranty applies, especially as to the internal format,
availability or accuracy of facility.dat or any other document produced
by the U.S. government.

Enter 0 to get all AM, FM or TV stations in the selected state.

Fuzzy lookup will display a range centered on the target frequency.
E.g., 1000.0 finds AM stations from 910.0 to 1090.0, while 90.0 finds FM
stations from 89.1 to 90.9 in the selected state. FCC data for the U.S.
only -- including Puerto Rico, American Samoa, etc. Sorry, no Mexican
or Canadian station data is included.

Antenna option gives antenna location; if unchecked, the TV or FM
channel or the AM code.

Output to file sends selected facility.dat records verbatim to a
user-defined file.

It was working fine on 6 March 2000.
