TV reception in Kotara South
Free-to-air TV in Kotara South comes from the Newcastle main transmitter at West Wallsend, 15.7 km to the WNW (bearing 295°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, horizontally polarised.
A medium-gain UHF antenna pointed WNW and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Kotara South shadowed from Newcastle can use the Kotara translator (1.4 km ESE, UHF channels 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, V polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
