Re: Lower North Island Analogue TV goes QRT 1400GMT

Yep

But remember we need to get a 50mhz permit to carry us to the new year when we will get it allocated.

Re: Import Duty???

Wow

We only have a NZ$400 (AU$316!!!) limit for g.s.t exemption, after that we get hit with 15% G.S.T on the lot.
Mind you we are allowd to run 1kw on most bands (vs your 400watts) so I guess we win some and loose some.

Keen to know if the dish for 5.7 is an Andrews one.
