Sorry not sure what i'm supposed to do here.

I'm assuming we are talking about this catalog item:

Is it to replace http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/ with https://web.acma.gov.au/rrl/ ?

[nf-s]

If so - here is a test link

https://nationalmap.gov.au/#clean&https://terria-catalogs-public.storage.googleapis.com/nationalmap/catalog/communications/dev.json&share=s-o0aDQJeYws3BIMUFibbxq59pHAG

[nf-s]

Can't use API as it has a limit of 2000 items per request.

The "sites" dataset (which contains lat/lon info) contains 114837 rows.

It is only 12MB CSV - so we can load it into Terria.

Only issue is that ACMA publish the CSV in a ZIP file - https://web.acma.gov.au/rrl-updates/spectra_rrl.zip - which is 60MB

So our options are:

• Download entire zip file and load sites.csv into terria
• Ask ACMA if they host "sites.csv" somewhere not in a zip file
• We host "sites.csv" ourselves - and update it every now and then

Update

We can't load the 12MB "sites.csv" into Terria - the number of points is making cesium upset.

Will investigate vector tiles with clustering
