height of radiators, phasing, physical positions), and it would 
conceivably be pretty easy to make a script that would extract this and 
generate the required NEC deck for a ham to use.  (or, for all we know, 
the stations already have the NEC model in their application)"

Not sure about the last part, but try:  http://radio-locator.com/
Plug in the call letters of a station of interest and you go to a link
which has tech info.  Click on "View Coverage Map" for the obvious and
"Transmitter Location" which will get you a Google map/satellite/terrain
image of the tower site.  Really cool and useful.
