Depending on whether you recognize Central America as a continent, Guatemala is arguably in North America.

In any case, radio-locator.com does have a pulldown that will search for stations in countries around the world.  (not only the Western Hemisphere)  But the lists are not complete, it looks almost as if only those stations that registered themselves will appear on the site.  None are listed in Quetzaltenango.

www.tvradioworld.com used to have a list for Guatemala for local radio frequencies, but it does not call up anymore.

Supertel, the Guatemalan telecommunications authority, released a list on July 7, 2004, listing frequencies and licensees, but not the names and power of the stations.

For FM, they list the following frequencies in Quezaltenango city: 90.3, 90.7, 91.1, 91.5, 92.7, 93.9, 94.3, 94.5, 95.5, 96.3, 97.1, 98.3, 98.7, 99.1, 99.5, 99.9, 100.3, 101.1, 102.3, 104.7, 105.5, 106.3, 106.7, 107.1, 107.5, 107.9.      For those unfamiliar with Latin American FM spacings, this .4 MHz spacing is common; it Argentina it is worst, with stations even 0.1 MHz apart.   For AM stations, I do not have a full list; I suggest the World TV Radio Handbook.

Obtaining frequency lists for most Latin American stations is next to impossible.  Some but not many of the national telecommunications agencies publish lists from time to time, and some are online, but often these are dated or provide only minimum information.  One South American country simply lists the city and the licensees-- not even the frequencies are given.  There do not seem to be the radio hobbyists as there are in this country and in Europe, and those there are tend to restrict themselves to AM and shortwave.  I once asked an Argentine radio DX club hobbyist if he knew where I could find online a list of Argentine FM stations, and he replied that "It's not like it is in your country.  Here anyone who wants to can buy a transmitter and set up a station.  No one has ever collected a list of stations."   That was several years ago, and since then COMFER has tried to clean up the airwaves, but there are so many political grants and nongrants of stations that it is difficult to do so.  The military was running a powerful, popular, illegal station right in the heart of the capital, Buenos Aires.  Pirate FM's are a scourge in many Latin American countries.  Today, there is a radio hobbyist in Argentina who has compiled a list of stations, but even his has a lot of blanks.

My suggestions is that if it is really important to you to have a list of Quezaltenango radio stations, you write the information officer at the Guatemala Embassy in Washington.
