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.

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Data originally released by the Federal Communications
Commission in March 2009.  When GeoPlan received 
the dataset it was in shapefile format and in the following
projection: NAD 83. The original extent of the data included 
the entire United States.

Data was downloaded from Federal Communications Commission website
(http://wireless.fcc.gov/geographic/index.htm?job=licensing_database_extracts)
in July 2009. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process, included 
the following aspects:

- Changed original dataset name from asr.shp to antreg_feb09
- Selected locations in Florida by using the query:  "STRUCSTATE" = 'FL'
- Projected data to FGDL Albers.
- Added DESCRIPT item based on ENTITY
- Added the FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source
- Upcased all records in the table
Process Date: 20090728

Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20090729
