Thanks for the post Murray. 
FWIW, I was able to capture the data shown on EA5XC's site and save it as an Excel spreadsheet. It's only a few under 600 entries though, so clearly Bill's data table is much larger!
I don't know if BIll would be amenable to this idea... or if he is, if (for other reasons) he wouldn't be able to implement it... so consider this in the category of 'thinking out loud'.
But if he & his staff simply don't have the time to maintain a public database, possibly someone with the resources & time could volunteer to do so? (With the usual caveats that data may be out of date, and that all listings are 'unofficial' and 'for informational puproses only' or whatever else is needed to keep the lawyers off everyone's backs) 
Just a thought...

Dear Bill,
Understand. Hopefully in the future the Desk can fully implement the 
suggestion made by several DXers..... The referenced site is helpful but 
not up to date, but it is a place to reference. Thanks.
