Linked Station Neighbors: U.S. and Canadian Broadcast Spectrum Coordination

U.S. and impeding Canadian broadcast stations are listed with their upstream and downstream neighbors for interference coordination. The dataset contains two records per station in a linked-station set, detailing neighbor relationships. It was published by opendata.fcc.gov and last updated on 2019-01-28 15:16:57.

Use Cases

• Identify interference relationships between stations using FACILITY_ID, LSS_ID, and UP/DOWN columns.
• Map a station's coordination network using NEIGHBOR_FACILITY_IDS columns (1-5).
• Analyze the structure of linked-station sets for spectrum planning using LSS_ID and PHASE columns.

Strengths

• Data is structured with specific columns for station IDs (FACILITY_ID), neighbor IDs (NEIGHBOR_FACILITY_IDS 1-5), and relationship direction (UP/DOWN).
• Provides a clear relational model for broadcast interference coordination between U.S. and Canadian stations.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats: CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-01-28 15:16:57; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
