Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)What are the purposes of this site?How do you determine whether to include a station? How do I filter this list by country or ministry? How is this list maintained? Can my ministry display your list/map of our stations? Are you open to developing this site further with other ministries? How do I submit corrections or suggest a new station? How is a station's coverage estimated? How do I create a station coverage polygon? How do you handle location-sensitive stations or those with unpublished frequencies? How can I see what languages a station broadcasts? What site improvements are envisioned? I've identified the best stations for my target area; where do I get radios? What are the purposes of this site? Huge efforts and resources over many decades have gone into creating a Gospel radio presence in many parts of the world. Not as much effort has been invested in making that presence easily discoverable, and perhaps, in optimizing station locations and languages. Our goal is two-fold:
How do you determine whether to include a station? Our desire is to include any radio station that is: Our emphasis is on stations outside the US. How do I filter this list by country or ministry? In the station table, click on a ministry partner name or country name to bring up a filtered table. Then click the ''Show map'' link. How is this list maintained? Our vision is that most information would be updated by individual station owners or multi-station radio ministries. We also welcome editing by other interested volunteers or listeners. Contact us! Can my ministry display your list/map of our stations? Absolutely! Just provide a link from your site to the appropriate page on our site. We are also open to incorporating views directly in other ministry websites; contact us about programming this. Are you open to developing this site further with other ministries? Absolutely! You may have requirements that we haven't considered. Contact us. How do I submit corrections or suggest a new station? There are links on the map page to submit a new station or corrections to an existing station. You can also email us directly. How is a station's coverage estimated? Our algorithm estimates a station's daytime coverage radius based on frequency and band. We welcome improvements in this estimate! The station owner is free to supply a more accurate radius. Obviously, a circle is a gross approximation, distorted by topography, water, antenna design, and other factors. The station owner is also free to supply a lat/lon polygon that more closely approximates coverage. How do I create a station coverage polygon? You are free to enter the estimated coverage perimeter as a series of comma-separated lat/lon coordinates in our station form (i.e., lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2,lat3,lon3). The system will automatically close the polygon. You can do this manually by: To do this graphically, one method is to: How do you handle location-sensitive stations or those with unpublished frequencies? We'd like to hear from you about the best way to obscure sensitive information, while still making it available to those for whom it is intended. How can I see what languages a station broadcasts? Where language information is available, it is listed at the end of the station summary. What site improvements are envisioned? Our desire is to provide:
