Comment Commercial preference to not use wide coverage Mt Oxley site if same coverage can be achieved with Brewarrina and Bourke Town services. Possibly VHF only site. VHF antenna height changed to 37m and HRP revised as recommended by BA. Imparja service at different tower to ABC. BA/ABC/SBS submission noted proposed channel 8 for ABN is adjacent to IMP9 analog with potential adjacent channel problems if different sites are used. ABN assignment therefore changed to 6. All VHF broadcaster allotments isn’t possible without using channels 8 or 9A. Channel 8 is avoided as its use at one site would clash with an analog at the alternative site. Assigning channel 11 to the SBS service leaves channel 9A for a possible QQQ services.

Comment Cobar is in an overlap of Southern NSW and Remote C&E Australia licence areas. The national and CBN9A digital services were planned in the NSW Pt5: Inland NSW DCP. Imparja and QQQ services currently licensed to Cobar Shire Council but commercial broadcasters have asked that Cobar be included in this DCP variation. Commercials propose new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site and requested UHF Band IV channels. Commercials advised actual analog ERP is approximately 320 W.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 41 to 69 at commercial site, requested lower channels than draft DCP and requested 250 W ERP for UHF Band IV and V. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. VHF HRP revised as recommended by BA. May 2007 Draft DCP had incorrectly calculated VHF max ERP of 50 W and July 2008 draft DCP had incorrectly calculated UHF max ERP of 250W. The UHF Band V digital maximum ERP is 4 dB higher than the VHF Band III analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook (160W analog VHF gives 40W digital VHF and 400W digital UHF Band V). Site coords corrected on advice of SCB.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site and requested lower channels than draft DCP. National assignments also changed to lower channels. Antenna height of services at BA site changed to 33 m as recommended by BA. HRP at Saleyard site revised on advice that slot antenna used. Site coords for Saleyard site revised on advice of SCB. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP would be 10dB below the UHF Band V analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook. The commercial broadcasters have proposed that the UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP be only 3 dB down to minimise need for viewers to replace UHF Band V only antennas.

Comment NITV analog on 34. Not included in draft variation as already finalised in Feb 2007 DCP. Commercials requested UHF Band IV channels rather than VHF. Avoid allocating adjacent channel to 9 and 38. Make UA A adjacent to 28 to allow commercials on channels 28 to 41 with no adjacents.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41, requested lower channels than draft DCP and requested 250 W ERP for UHF Band IV and V. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. SCB has confirmed QQQ and SBS at Council water tower site and ABC and Imparja are at Telstra site. SCB also suggested that the apparently excessive ERP for the SBS /QQQ could be to provide coverage of Ranger mine. Antenna height of VHF services changed to 75 m on BA advice. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP would be 10dB below the UHF Band V analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook. The commercial broadcasters have proposed that the UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP be only 3 dB down to minimise need for viewers to replace UHF Band V only antennas. BA/ABC/SBS have requested increased VHF ERP to match digital UHF Band IV ERP (6 dB down) but will need to monitor adjacent channel interference.

Comment Not included in draft variation as already finalised in Feb 2007 DCP. Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 and requested UHF Band IV channels. The VHF Band III digital maximum ERP is 6 dB down on the analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook for conversion in the same band. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP is the same as the VHF Band III analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site and requested lower channels than draft DCP. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing the DCP. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP is the same as the VHF Band III analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook. ABC and SBS VHF channels changed on request of broadcasters to avoid potential adjacent channel problems with IMP7 and 8 from different sites.

Comment ABD channel changed from 10 as requested by BA to avoid need to shift analog service by 1 MHz. Channel 9A preferred to 12 to minimise VHF antenna issues. BA confirmed site details for ABC service. BA/ABC/SBS submission noted SBS7 digital assignment is adjacent to QQQ8 analog with potential adjacent channel problems if different sites are used. SBS digital therefore changed to 10.

Comment Commercials proposed lower set of UHF Band V channels to avoid assignments adjacent to analog services. Barcaldine is added to list of Imparja conversion areas and the Imparja site is proposed for the UHF Digital Services. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. HRP at commercial site revised following submission on July’08 variation on advice that vertical dipole used. The UHF Band V digital maximum ERP is 4 dB higher than the VHF Band III analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site and requested lower channels than draft DCP. HRP at commercial site revised on advice that slot antenna used. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP is the same as the VHF Band III analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook although given quite different transmission sites a UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP of 25 W would match the IMP33 coverage.

Comment ABQ consequential channel change implemented but QQQ consequential channel change unlikely to be required. Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site and requested lower channels than draft DCP. Nationals could have UHF assignments as per draft DCP although revised UHF Band IV/low Band V channel assignments have been assumed in preparing DCP. HRP at commercial site revised on advice that slot antenna used. Site coords for both sites corrected slightly. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP would be 60W, 10dB below the UHF Band V analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook. The commercial broadcasters have proposed that the UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP be 300W, only 3 dB down to minimise need for viewers to replace UHF Band V only antennas. The July ’08 engineering report had 650W for analog services and therefore 325 W for digital services.

Comment ABD channel changed from 9A as requested by BA to avoid need to shift analog service by 1 MHz. 2008 BA/ABC requested further channel change as current antenna bandwidth limited to channels 6 to 11. BA/ABC requested channels 6, 7, 8, 9 or 11 with preference for channels 7, 8 or 9. As channels 7, 8, 9 and 11 used or proposed for Winton channel 6 is only alternative channel.

Comment ABD channel changed from 9A as requested by BA to avoid need to shift analog service by 1 MHz. Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site, requested lower channels than draft DCP and max ERP of 50 W for UHF Band IV and V. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. HRP at commercial site revised on advice that slot antenna used. July ’08 draft variation had erroneous UHF digital ERP of 100W. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP would be 10dB below the UHF Band V analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook. The commercial broadcasters have proposed that the UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP be only 3 dB down to minimise need for viewers to replace UHF Band V only antennas. BA/ABC/SBS have requested increased VHF ERP to match digital UHF Band IV ERP (6 dB down) but coverages will be potentially quite different given disparate transmission sites.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site and requested lower channels than draft DCP. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. HRP at commercial site revised on advice that slot antenna used. Imparja service apparently being upgraded to 1 KW ERP. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP would be 10dB below the UHF Band V analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook. The commercial broadcasters have proposed that the UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP be only 3 dB down to minimise need for viewers to replace UHF Band V only antennas. VHF ERP has been increased to match digital UHF Band IV ERP (6 dB down). Resultant ERPs appear rather excessive with more reasonable ERPs being 50W at VHF Band III and 200 W at UHF Band IV.

Comment Commercials proposed lower set of UHF Band V channels to avoid assignments adjacent to analog services. Longreach is added to list of Imparja conversion areas and the Imparja site is proposed for the UHF Digital Services. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. Channel 11 preferred as VHF channel for SBS to avoid need to shift QQQ9 by 1 MHz and possible antenna problems with channel 12. The UHF Band V digital maximum ERP is 4 dB higher than the VHF Band III analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook. The UHF HRP has been revised from the July ’08 HRP on advice that the antenna is likely to be a standard UD style antenna orientated to the west.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site, requested lower channels than draft DCP and max ERP of 500 W for UHF Band IV and V. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. HRP at commercial site revised on advice that slot antenna used. Band IV digital maximum ERP be only 3 dB down to minimise need for viewers to replace UHF Band V only antennas. VHF ERP has been increased to match digital UHF Band IV ERP (6 dB down). BA/ABC/SBS submission noted alternative assignment for SBS of 28 is adjacent to IMP29 analog with potential adjacent channel problems if different sites are used. SBS alternative therefore changed to 44.

Comment NITV analog on 35. Mount isa was included in draft variation as already finalised in Feb 2007 DCP. Commercials requested UHF Band IV channels rather than VHF assignments. The July ’08 draft variation proposed channels for Mount Isa which included channels adjacent to the NITV analog service on channel 35. The solution is to allot channels 37, 39, 41, 43 and 45 with channels 43 and 45 unassigned. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP is the same as the VHF Band III analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site, requested lower channels than draft DCP and max ERP of 1 kW for UHF Band IV and V. Upto 5 kW UHF ERP could be required at Water tower site, though, to match coverage of VHF services at Timbury Hills site. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. Antenna height of VHF services changed to 68 m as recommended by BA. HRP at commercial site revised on advice that slot antenna used.

Comment The BA/ABC submission to the July ’08 DCP variation requested a channel change for the ABC at Surat as the current antenna bandwidth is only suitable for channels 6 to 11. The ABC has therefore been assigned channel 10 with an alternative channel 49 identified for QQQ. The July ’08 DCP variation had an error in the proposed max ERPs of 40W and 400W.

Comment Since preparing the May 2007 draft DCP an aanalog SBS service has been implemented on channel 34 requiring a change to the proposed digital channels. The digital UHF Band IV maximum ERP is 6 dB down on the analog UHF Band IV maximum ERP and the digital VHF Band III maximum ERP has been adjusted to 65 W to match the UHF Band IV analog coverage as this is higher than the 40 W to match the VHF Band III coverage - as per the DTTB Planning handbook for conversion in the same band.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site and requested lower channels than draft DCP. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. The UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP would be 10dB below the UHF Band V analog maximum ERP as per the DTTB Planning handbook. The commercial broadcasters have proposed that the UHF Band IV digital maximum ERP be only 3 dB down to minimise need for viewers to replace UHF Band V only antennas. BA/ABC/SBS have requested increased VHF ERP to match digital UHF Band IV ERP (6 dB down) but will need to monitor adjacent channel interference.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site, requested lower channels than draft DCP and maximum ERP of 600 W for UHF Band IV and V. This ERP would not match geographic coverage from BA site but would cover substantially the same population, Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. Maximum ERP and HRP revised as recommended by BA. HRP at commercial site revised on advice that slot antenna used. (July ’08 draft variation had error of 50 W for UHF digitals).

Comment BA suggested VHF channels would be better assigned at Streaky Bay than at Ceduna/Smoky Bay given the relative power difference between VHF and UHF services at Streaky Bay. A similar argument could be made at Wirrulla. Making Ceduna/Smoky Bay a UHF only site frees channels 9A and 11 for assignment at Streaky Bay and Wirrulla. Antenna height of 60 m for new UHF antenna recommended by BA.

Comment Commercials proposed new antenna for digital services with bandwidth of 28 to 41 at commercial site and requested lower channels than draft DCP. Nationals could have VHF or UHF channel assignments although VHF assumed in preparing DCP. BA/ABC/SBS have requested increased VHF ERP to match digital UHF Band IV ERP (6 dB down) but will need to monitor adjacent channel interference.
