Reception on Adams Estate acreage
Mt Dandenong is 68 km from Adams Estate, bearing 346° (north-north-west), on VHF with horizontal polarisation. Mt Tassie is 90 km away on UHF, and on some properties it is the better choice. Open country often gives a clean path, but distance means less margin, so antenna gain and height matter more than in the suburbs.

These figures come from ACMA site data and Adams Estate's coordinates. Terrain and buildings change the picture street by street, which is why every job starts with a meter reading.
Adams Estate to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 68 km to reach Adams Estate, passing over Grantville (2.7 km out), Rythdale (31 km out), Officer (42 km out), Selby (58 km out), Sherbrooke (60 km out) and Sassafras (64 km out) on the way.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 90 km away at 88° (east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
The compass bearing (346°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
Masts, cable and amplifiers in Adams Estate
Farm sheds with steel walls block signal completely. If you want TV in a shed or workshop on your Adams Estate property, we feed it by cable from the house rather than a second antenna.
