[extropy-chat] FWD (PvT) Re: Chart of Clipperton

[Terry W. Colvin]

Hi,
I'd suggest that you send email to The Clipperton DX Club, at
< cdxc at free.fr >.  They're French, and have an interest in the island, as
is obvious.  Someone there might help.

   Hello Doug,

   I'm not sure what Mike Lorrey needs beyond the hydrographic data.

   Here is his latest explanation of his needs:

   "Scale 1:500,000 
   Producer Military Topographic Directorate of the General Staff 
   Vintage 1980-1981 
   Projection Gauss-Kruger 
   Language Russian 
   Size 3x2 degrees 
   Contours 50 meters 
   Status Available Immediately in raster or paper format 
   Sheet Count 1 
   Base price (Paper) $79.00  per sheet  

   This is a low resolution contour map that does not provide any
   hydrometric topography. Saw it already, doesn't suit my needs.

   Found that page a while back. Thanks.

   An ENC database is a file containing both geographic and hydrographic
   topological data, depth soundings, and other GIS data that conforms to
   the International Geophysical S-57 standard. The US has been creating
   such charts for all of its territorial waters and posessions, even
   uninhabited Navassa Island has been digitally charted. Other major
   nations are supposed to be doing the same thing with their own
   posessions and waters, which I why I want someone literate in French to
   find such a chart on French government servers that is available to the
   public.

   Mike Lorrey"

   AP-preciate your help.
