Hi Sandra,
I think the wrong tagging is not a big problem for now as telecommunication towers are (not yet) rendered. In the coming weeks we will update faulty names and tags based on what we already know and what with the information the community will provide us.

Hi Gert, in fact, only the Points that say GPS by tower in the notes are really tower locations, to be honest. The rest was geocoded on the studio addresses, which could have the tower on site; but we would not know. Many stations have similar addresses, this could be linked to the fact that several radios which programmatically are targeting different listener groups use the same facilities, but of course it is also possible that some have changed the name in the meantime and only one is still existing.

Consider this carried out, 95% is actually imported, but there is room for Improvement, as both studios and towers are all labeled "tower: communication" for the moment, and a lot of accents got lost in the import. There are also a few doubles.

Hi, to give more details, the data is hosted in Google Spreadsheets and the skin (+ link) can be downloaded from here: http://www.cartong.org/Files_for_public_download/Radio%20Stations%20Hait i.kmz We are of course still updating; we mapped everything we could get hold of, but some of the stations are misplaced still and of course the attributes (operational etc ) are updated as soon as we get news. The list is now around about 230 stations, I do not think it will get much bigger, but we already noticed that some stations we had initally in there, actually ended up being the same and had just name changed etc; so just to give you an idea that the data is still in flow. Let me know the best way how to feed the data to you, I can export as CSV, which will be static then, though, but it butchers up the encoding when I do that; unless anyone can give me a pointer how to avoid to do that? Best of course would be if there could be feeding from the kml.

We've gotten confirmation from Sandra that we can import radio and tv station locations into OSM. Need to coordinate with Sandra to import the data, and keep it up to date and their db is updated. Can anyone stand up for this?

We host it in Google Spreadsheet.

I have re-send the request to autorise to Internews but have not received a response so far. However, as I have been informed by IMS, the organisation we compile the data for who are on the ground by now, there will be a meeting with the mappers + internews on the ground; therefore I hope I have a response soon. The good side of this, I have sent all questionable positions (many, as the Geocoding in the country side is not as advanced as in PaP) to IMS in the field and hope that while waiting for internews response we can clean up/adjust our positional errors. Thank you for your patience.
