Direct KMZ download: http://ge.fccinfo.com/fccinfo.kmz

Hope that helps.


I don't know what you're getting, but I'm getting a file called fccinfo.kmz
that is only 279 bytes in size. When I doubleclick on it and load Google
Earth to read it I get in the Temporary Places tree a section called FCCInfo.
Under that I get a choice of AM, FM, and TV stations, ASR towers, Broadcast
Microwave, and something that says Cavell Mertz & Associates which has nothing
in the tree under it.

Under the AM section I get a list of just 9 stations, KCNW, KCZZ, KDTD, KKLO,
etc.

Under the FM I get sbout 23 stations including CPs. When I click on the FMs I
notice that all the transmitter sites are between Topeka and Kansas City.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to get other cities, but that's all I
get. I have never used Google Earth to look at anything in the KC MO area, so
there is no reason for GE to home there. I just looked at my saved locations,
tours, and whatnot and see no reference to anything in Missouri, Kansas, or
anything else near there, so it's nothing wrong with my Google Earth.

What gives?
