Edit the location and characteristics of a site used as a Billboard Passive reflector for your system.

Fields

Station Location
The name of the station location. This may consist of the town name and street address, or the name of the geographic site. The Canada Gazette or provincial government official gazetter should be used to confirm the proper name of the location. A valid entry is up to 35 characters in length.
Latitude
Latitude north of the station's antenna or, for a mobile station, latitude north of the centre of the station's area of operation. A valid value is from 400000 to 900000, and is in the format DDMMSS (e.g., "494600").
Longitude
Longitude west of the station's antenna or, for a mobile station, longitude west of the centre of the station's area of operation. A valid value is from 500000 to 1450000, and is in the format (D)DDMMSS (e.g., "943400" or "1043700").
Elevation
Height of the ground above mean sea level at the location of the repeater, in meters. A valid value is from 0 to 6000 m.
Area of Reflection
The area of the reflective surface of the billboard passive reflector, in square metres. A valid value is from 0 to 200 m2.
Azimuth
The normal azimuth to the reflection (from the reflector's surface), in degrees.
Elevation Angle
The reflector's elevation angle, in degrees. This angle corresponds to the vertical inclination of the reflection surface. If the surface is tilted downwards, the angle is considered negative. If the surface is tilted upwards, the angle is considered positive. A valid value is from -45.0 to 45.0 degrees.
Antenna Height
Height of the repeater's supporting structure, above ground level, in metres. A valid value is from 1 to 200 m.
