Hi there.

Would anyone know if there is a website or Database that lists Current NZ FM Radio stations Transmission Sites plus other Information such as Transmission Power, Polarisation etc.

As like VHF/UHF TV using Horizontal/Vertical Polarisations I'm aware that FM Transmissions follow the same Protocol but also use Circular Polarity.

I spent a bit of time checking out RSM but found it's not exactly the most Web Friendly site to use.

Any Help would be great.

I'm located in the Bay of Plenty Whakatane Region and have for Years received FM from all over.

Usually, i would use my Feild Strength Meter Coupled to my Outdoor Antenna and do a H/V Comparison.

A Quik access Database would be awesome.

Cheers:

There used to be a really good one of these sites for the TV transmitters and repeaters around the country, but it disappeared after analogue was shutdown.

As to radio, none that I know of - although I'd be interested too. I know they used to make something like this in book form but that was in the 90s.

Hi Allan.

Thanks for the Link Above... Not bad. Thats a Pretty good Site.

Pity it doesn't highlight the Polarity used for Each Station.

RSM is bloody hard to Browse.... They couldn't make it any harder.
