Terrain and TV in Avonsleigh
Mt Dandenong is close to Avonsleigh, but close is not the same as visible. Ridgelines, gullies and tall timber mean the strongest signal may arrive from an unexpected direction, reflected off a nearby slope. We sweep the antenna on the meter rather than assuming the map bearing.

Avonsleigh to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 15 km to reach Avonsleigh, passing over Olinda (12 km out) on the way.
The compass bearing (310°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
How we install in Avonsleigh
Second dwellings and studios on sloping Avonsleigh blocks often sit lower than the house. We feed them from the main antenna with low-loss cable rather than fitting a second, poorly placed antenna.

Questions from Avonsleigh customers
My neighbour gets a perfect picture — why don't I?
In hilly areas a few metres of elevation or a single tree can change everything. Your neighbour may be pointing at a different transmitter or have a clearer path. We meter from your roof specifically.
Do you fix storm and lightning damage?
Yes — blown amplifiers, bent elements and damaged cable are common after storms. We carry replacements and check every TV before leaving.
Does height always help?
Only if it gives a clearer view toward the transmitter. On the wrong side of a ridge, a different site often beats a taller mast.
