Mark, Hit me off line and I'll see what I can do to help you out. Could be a graphics card issue. The file is large when unzipped within the program. You made need to switch between Open GL or DirectX modes to get around the issue.

I guess I am missing something, no matter where I look I see no contour lines.

Ok, so the static image maps I have been creating do not show an accurate picture channel by channel of the available white space spectrum. I decided that I would create a tool that all WISP's could use right now and get a good idea of how their own markets may be affected by white space spectrum being released. I used my GIS tools to create data layers channel by channel. From that I exported the results to a Google Earth file. (It's a large one, sorry the file size is large for list distribution, I compressed it as much as possible) Here is how you can use this. Open the file in Google Earth and you will see the folders specified by TV channel number. Zoom to your area of interest. Click on a channel and see if any contours show up in you desired coverage area. If they don't great, but you still need to check adjacent channels. You would do this by checking the boxes for the channel above and below the one you want to use. If no contours from those channels touch your desired area, you have a clean channel for potential use. This will all depend of course on how the final FCC rules are developed. DISCLAIMERS This mapping data was current as of 7-28-08 and only shows what I could best determine as digital channels. This is my best guess as to what will be on the air after the February 2009 cutover date and is by no means the final word. Things could change between now and then and some of these contours could change. This also does not show any current analog stations. There are some provisions for low power and translator stations to stay on the air in analog form and/or move channels after the cutover. This is pretty accurate but I'm not a Broadcast industry expert. Some of the digital stations might be temporary or for testing. I haven't had the time to look in to all the codes from the FCC database to weed that type of stuff out.
