Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains locations from the antenna structures database that are required to register with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC requires owners to register those antenna structures which generally are more than 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height or located near an airport. This is an update to the antreg_jun12 layer.
Purpose:
Serve as base information for use in GIS systems for general planning, analytical, and research purposes. It is not intended for engineering work or to legally define reservation boundaries, FCC licensee data or FCC market boundaries.

Process_Description:
In 2012, the FCC stopped releasing its data as spatial data. Everything is released in databases now with associated .dat files for download. Downloaded Antenna Structure Registrations from <http://wireless.fcc.gov/antenna/index.htm?> job=uls_transaction&page=weekly in February 2017. During the QA/QC process, GeoPlan performed the following steps:
- Opened and formatted CO.dat in Excel. Added field names using the FCC Database Field Definitions File: <http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/documentation/patower-2.xls>. Saved coordinate fields as LAT_DD, LAT_MIN, LAT_SEC, LAT_DIR, LON_DD, LON_MIN, LON_SEC, and LON_DIR - Saved as .csv file - Opened .csv in ArcMap and exported to a dbase table - Added LAT and LONG fields using type = double - Used field calculator to convert coordinate fields from DMS to DD. The equation for latitude was: ( [LAT_SEC] /3600) + ( [LAT_MIN] /60) + [LAT_DD] The equation for longitude was: ( [LON_SEC] /3600) + ( [LON_MIN] /60) + [LON_DD] - Generated XY data using the LATDD and LONDD fields. The projection was defined as WGS 1984.
ANTREG shapefile - Projected the event layer to Albers_Harn and exported out as shapefile - Clipped projected shapefile to the state of Florida using a Florida Boundary shapefile - Opened and formatted EN.dat and RA.dat in Excel. Added field names using the FCC Database Field Definitions File and antreg_jun12. Deleted fields not present in antreg_jun12. Saved as .csv files. - EN and RA .csv files brought into ArcMap and joined with the antreg_jan17 feature class using FILENUM field. Exported out joined files to a new feature class - Edited the feature class attribute table to mimic antreg_jun12 - Added descript field based on Entity Name originally from EN.dat (ENTITY in shapefile) - Added FGDLAQDATE based on the date GeoPlan acquired the data - Added a LAT_DMS and LON_DMS field based on combination of LAT_DD, LAT_MIN, LAT_SEC, LON_DD, LON_MIN, and LON_SEC then deleted those fields because they are not present in the previous ANTREG shapefile - Restructured table and uppercased all fields
Notes: When the FCC generated this data set spatially in the past they limited the lat/long fields to 4 decimals. Now that we are generating the spatial locations the decimals have been left to the default value of the field type of double. The result is a visible shift of 1-3 meters.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
