[BC] BCmap broadcast pattern program

[Jim Tonne]

Gents:

I am the author of BCmap, a free program that
shows you the patterns of broadcast stations right
on your computer.   By this I mean that it gets the
antenna array data from the FCC site and then
does the math to plot the pattern.  A large number
of options are available and the program is 
apparently fairly well thought of.

However - to get that data requires parsing an
HTML file.  This is  *not*  fun.  Simply downloading
the FCC-generated PDF pattern files is a far
less informative way to go about this for the
"casual" (i.e., not-professional-engineer) user.
And it does not fit in with the BCmap way of
doing things.

The work involved to update the data files is
significant.

For this reason, I am for the time being pulling
BCmap from my site.  If you click on the Download
button you will get a request for input.

If the response is insufficient, the program will no
longer be available.

I really want to keep it as a freebie but I need some
kind of support.   Larry?  Bob?  Jump in here.
