Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the spatial extent of FM Radio Station Transmitter sites in the state of Florida. FM stands for "Frequency Modulation", which refers to the means of encoding the audio signal on the carrier frequency. In some countries FM broadcast radio is referred to as "VHF."
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:
Data was downloaded by GeoPlan in shapefile format from the FCC website (<http://wireless.fcc.gov/geographic/index.htm?job=licensing_database_extracts>) in January 2010. When received the data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD 27, Spheroid: Clarke1866, Units: Decimal Degrees. Points for only the State of Florida were exported using the selection "STATE" = 'FL' and the data was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.
- Changed original file name from FM to fmtow_jul09 - DESCRIPT item was added based on the item LICENSEE - FGDLAQDATE was added based on date downloaded from source - Upcased all records in the table

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>
