From our job notes
Bacchus Marsh valley
Bacchus Marsh sits in a valley about 80 km from Mt Dandenong, and the surrounding hills shadow parts of town. Antenna height and accurate aim matter here more than almost anywhere else we work.
Newer estates on the valley floor have builder antennas that are well short of what the distance needs.
Bacchus Marsh transmitter options
Valley floors are often in partial shadow from the surrounding hills, so Bacchus Marsh homes on rising ground can see one transmitter while those lower down rely on another. When a household moves the antenna or replaces it like-for-like, it is easy to end up pointed at the weaker option without realising.

- VHF 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 (plus UHF 32 for C31)

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Bacchus Marsh; your roof may differ by a few degrees. Repeaters are low-power and directional, so we always confirm with a meter on site.
The signal's route to Bacchus Marsh
Draw a line from Bacchus Marsh toward Mt Dandenong at 103° and it crosses Brookfield, Kings Park, Essendon, Northcote, Greythorn, Rangeview and Kilsyth South before reaching the transmitter 81 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face east-south-east. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
Bacchus Marsh homes and their antennas
New estates on the edge of Bacchus Marsh have the same builder-antenna issues as Melbourne's growth suburbs: small antennas mounted low. A correctly sized antenna aimed with a meter fixes it.
Common Bacchus Marsh call-outs

Bacchus Marsh: quick answers
Do you install LTE/5G filters?
Yes. Near mobile towers, 4G/5G signals can overload TV amplifiers. A filter fixes it when the meter shows that is the cause.
Why is my picture worse on foggy mornings?
Wet antennas and cable lose a little signal. If your system has no margin, that is enough to cause dropouts. Better gain or a cable fix restores it.
Can you set up TVs for a club or pub?
Yes — multi-screen distribution with proper amplification, and LTE filtering where needed.
