"There is, or used to be, a nifty site that had all the antenna info for 
broadcast stations, at some level of detail (physical and electrical 
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.
