Another scan of the vhf/uhf spectrum in ... / 2009-02-08

Another scan of the vhf/uhf spectrum in Brunssum, and this time I got lucky and found the VRT dvb-t bouquet at 506 MHz (UHF 25) from Genk. With scan:

In the evening reception was ok, during the day lots of errors. I guess an outside antenna with preamp could make this usable. I updated the DVB experiments with the new data. This brings the total listing of free-to-air services found in this place to 24 television and 24 radio stations. The tuning to 482 MHz is because that is the other VRTmux1 frequency.
