I know radio-locator uses the word pattern at the bottom of each map. I think that's unfortunate because they aren't the licensed or in this case granted patterns. On top they call them the predicted daytime/nighttime coverage area, which is exactly what they are. I recommend using FCCInfo.com for the real patterns. This is the CP 20 kW day pattern for KLFE.
http://fccinfo.com/CMDProEngine.php?sCurrentService=AM&tabSearchType=Appl&sAppIDNumber=1574184&sHours=D FCCInfo.com organizes a lot of the data better than the FCC database. However there are things you can only get from the FCC database such as the fascinating FCC history cards, PSRA and PSSA authorizations, official sunrise and sunset times for every station each month, written correspondence between stations and the FCC and much more. There are things you can do quickly on FCCInfo.com that would take forever in the FCC database. One of my favorites is the ability to search for which stations are within any distance you choose of any geographical coordinates you choose. That's great if you want to find out all of the stations on a major communication site such as Mount Wilson above Los Angeles. If you're not sure if a particular station is diplexed or triplexed with another that search will tell you. http://fccinfo.com/cmdpro.php I'm really enjoying the pattern/coverage maps from radio-timetraveller.blogspot.com. Scroll down to January 24 for details. The links to the zip files are on the right at the top of the page. Several engineers got them and were impressed.
