Web Super Contours working again

10/17/2016

My script for OTACanada's Super Contours was removed this year as it used an older version of google map that was no longer supported. Super Contours is a widget I wrote that shows all the 36dbu service contours of local television stations that overlap your current position. It should indicate the minimum number of local television stations that you should be expected to receive with an indoor antenna and worst case a roof mounted one (excluding local obstructions).

I have revisited the code and now have my contour map KMLs working with the latest version of Google maps. The new widget can be run here:

In my investigation, I have also discovered that my super contours are not currently working in my IOS app as the FCC has recently changed the way individual station contour maps are accessed. I will do an update shortly to rectify this.

Updated my hourly scan program

I updated my OTACanada website. I removed old content, added new. Will be adding some new web tools and cleaning up some of the old. Most of my tools used an older version of the google maps API and no longer functioned. 

I decided to revisit the API version 3. I wanted to include a map of my hourly scan DX data. The API seems less powerful and in the end, I had to program it with Perl producing a dynamic javascript. I did prefer my old KLM version, but it produces a very pretty map. Here is a snapshot from last week. The map on the hourly reception page automatically updates if any new stations are found. The hourly reception scans can be found here.

Next I will revisit my contour mapping scripts.

In the past, I struggled for 2 evenings on this one, trying countless ways, some sort of worked some didn't. In the end, as usual it was less than 10 lines. Here is a simple way of doing it. 

NSString *imageURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.website.com/images/%@",imagename];NSData* imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:imageURL]]; NSImage *imageFromWeb = [[NSImage alloc] initWithData:imageData]; NSString *body=@"A Word-A-Maze puzzle has been created for you. Enjoy."; NSArray *shareItems=@[body,imageFromWeb]; NSSharingService *service = [NSSharingService sharingServiceNamed:NSSharingServiceNameComposeEmail]; service.recipients=@[@""];service.subject= @"Your Word-A-Maze Puzzle"; [service performWithItems:shareItems];
