TV reception in Coffs Harbour
Free-to-air TV in Coffs Harbour comes from the Grafton/Kempsey main transmitter at Mount Moombil, 24.1 km to the W (bearing 265°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, horizontally polarised.
A medium-gain UHF antenna pointed W and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Coffs Harbour shadowed from Grafton/Kempsey can use the Boambee/Sawtell translator (6.8 km SSW, UHF channels 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
