What lies between Badger Creek and Mt Dandenong
The 24 km path from Badger Creek to Mt Dandenong at 225° crosses open country, water or areas outside the suburbs we list, so local obstructions near your roof matter more than anything along the way.
When we aim a Badger Creek antenna we start at 225° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Badger Creek antenna questions
Which transmitter should my Badger Creek antenna point to?
The candidates are Mt Dandenong (24 km, 225°, VHF horizontal). We meter them from your roof and choose the cleanest.
Why does my TV work some days and not others?
Usually because the antenna is pointed at a marginal site, or water is getting into a connector. Weather changes the signal path and the cable loss. We find which one it is with a meter.
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.
