To be honest, with the roll out of soooo many local UHF repeaters lately, they would want to be very current with info.

TV from caravan parks, WTD: sheet on antennas
Okay, supposedly there is a sheet kicking about with the directions you need to aim your antennas when you go to caravan parks around Australia. Supposedly they are given out at the Caravan and Camping shows but when the people I know that went to them, they couldn't find any. Does anyone have a copy of these sheets, and if so could they make a PDF of them, or does anyone have a web link for them?
Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries. You gotta tell them exactly what you want or you'll end up with a cupboard full of pop tarts and pancake mix.

Not just where to aim but what freqs and V or H, analogue and/or digital.
There's still VHF Ch 2-5 analogue around which most van antennas will not tune.
So basically a shit load of info required, so any hand-out would be incomplete and potentially out of date.
You could start here.
ie 'Television by Area Served' for the complete up to date list.
Print this lot out, take your GPS along, punch in the local transmitter site coords and it will give you distance and direction.
roguefan99, slightly off topic but I think most new travelling vans these days have portable sat dish setup, which gives dig pictures than analogue - being phased out. That is the case as I have seen in WA, (not sure about other statesOriginally Posted by roguefan99
i suggest grab a copy of the "TV ACROSS AUSTRALIA" book. All transmitters and translators are covered on a map and then you cross reference to the one you are after to get the location of it and the channels and polarity that each tower transmits. Very handy book.
A Clipsal publication.
The transmitter location map would be handy, and a distinct improvement on the ACMA publication; however the ACMA publication is current whilst Clipsal's is not.
Pity it doesn't include coverage maps
Surely some good member has access to/copy of the Clipsal transmitter map(s).
For coverage maps you would have to try the ABC's website.
abc.net.au/reception/freq/
then use their search facility
