Which direction to point aerial based on Postcode?

Is there a website into which you can type a postcode and it will let you
know which transmitter to point the aerial to, giving a compass bearing
from that postcode?

Many thanks

But it exaggerates the size/gain of aerial you need, so take it with a
pinch of salt. And use good quality (CT100 - 'satellite grade') co-ax.

and it also tells you about transmitters you haven't a chance of getting.

The Wolfbane site does the same.

If you click on the link in the Wolfbane results table (table heading OS
grid ref) you will get a diagram of the terrain between you and the
transmitter. You need a Postscript viewer to see the picture. A small
utility can be downloaded from
http://www.rops.org/
The older version 5.3 is 350kbytes and is free - see link in the opening
page.-
