Service Areas; Test Points (107 kB)

Information Memorandum - Ofcom has published a revised csv file for the test points for the coverage areas of the DTT stations requiring protection. This is to correct a few small anomalies that were noticed in the test points for three of the stations (the test points included in the annex of the Information Memorandum itself do not have these anomalies and still apply).

Test Points in MapInfo (61 kB)

Information Memorandum - To assist individuals wanting to plot the test points as polygons in mapping software, we are also now publishing these test points in MapInfo format in a zip file.
