What Bayles properties need
Bayles properties sometimes sit in a hollow with the house below the paddock line. Raising the antenna on a taller mast or moving it to a pole on higher ground can turn a marginal signal into a solid one.

What lies between Bayles and Mt Dandenong
Between Bayles and Mt Dandenong lie Clematis, Menzies Creek and The Patch. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 43 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Bayles antenna we start at 333° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
How we set up Bayles systems
For Bayles we usually recommend a mid-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a short mast above the roofline. If the house sits below a rise, a taller mast or a pole mount away from the house can make the difference. We aim with a meter, check every channel and leave the readings with you.
What usually goes wrong in Bayles
- Long cable runs to outbuildings losing signal
- Corroded joins on old outdoor cable
- Lightning-damaged amplifiers on exposed sites

Bayles antenna questions
Which transmitter does Bayles use?
Most properties aim at Mt Dandenong, 43 km away at about 333° (north-north-west), VHF horizontal. We meter both where relevant.
Can you run TV to my shed or granny flat?
Yes. We split the signal properly at the house, run low-loss cable to the outbuilding and add an amplifier if the distance needs it.
Do I need a taller mast?
If a rise, tree line or building sits in the path, often yes. We test at different heights before recommending one.
