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.
Cheers
Sandra

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?
Thanks

Guys,
IMS told me to go ahead and share the data, let me know what the
best
way is, especially as it is still in the process of being
updated.
We host it in Google Spreadsheet.
Cheers
Sandra

Sorry guys,
I have not forgotten about your request to integrate the data to
OSM. 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.
Regards
Sandra

Towers are also present in many of the unclassified DMA maps
too.
