My cellphone has a built-in FM radio; it has an interface where you type in the exact frequency to tune to. In Cape Town some radio stations can be broadcast on as many as eight different towers and eight different frequencies. Not all the stations publish the exact frequencies that they are transmitted on on each tower; instead they just give a frequency range. This is fine if you have a radio with an analog knob with which you can scan the range; but it’s quite irritating with one of the aforementioned cellphone radios.
To solve this problem, I have created a little website which allows you to look up radio stations and radio towers in the Cape Town area. It uses TurboGears (a Python web framework). Apart from serving a useful purpose, it also served as a project I could use to learn TurboGears.
Anyway, if you have any comments or if there are any errors in the data, please leave a reply here or send me an email.
