So... we're filing for the FCC construction permit(different from the "you can use 100W on this radio band for free" application). We gave the FAA and the FCC the same information for our tower. The guy at the FCC thinks our tower is near Manila... Did we get our N/S and E/W confused? No... we've entered this lat/lon into every online map we could find... -_- pretty sure we're right. Called up the FAA, had them personally explain it to me. I'm positive that these are the correct coordinates.

I went to this site: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/towairSearch.jsp

Here is how I filled out the form:

Did we misunderstand any part of the application?
