Bell Post Hill to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 94 km to reach Bell Post Hill, passing over Brighton East (64 km out), McKinnon (66 km out), Murrumbeena (69 km out), Oakleigh (71 km out), Pinewood (75 km out), Glen Waverley (78 km out) and Boronia (88 km out) on the way.
The shorter path to the Highton repeater (6.5 km at 191°) runs over Bell Park, Hamlyn Heights, Herne Hill and Manifold Heights.
The compass bearing (72°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
What fails on Bell Post Hill roofs
Closer to the water, salt air adds corrosion to the list. We seal every connector and use rust-proof mast hardware in Bell Post Hill, and we replace corroded baluns before they turn into a full antenna replacement.

Questions from Bell Post Hill customers
Should my Bell Post Hill antenna point across the bay or to the local repeater?
Mt Dandenong is 94 km away (VHF, horizontal); the Highton repeater is 6.5 km away (UHF, horizontal). The better choice varies by street. We meter both and fit an antenna built for the winner.
Do you cover all of Bell Post Hill?
Yes, 7 days a week, with same-day visits when you call early.
Does raising the antenna always help?
Not always over water — reflections can cancel the signal at certain heights. We test different heights with a meter.
