Why coastal antennas fail early in Blairgowrie
Sea breezes in Blairgowrie also mean fatigue. Elements that vibrate in constant wind work loose at the boom. A slight rattle on a windy day is often the first sign an antenna is on the way out.

What lies between Blairgowrie and Mt Dandenong
Between Blairgowrie and Mt Dandenong lie Chelsea, Keysborough, Dandenong North, Mountain Gate and The Basin. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 78 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Blairgowrie antenna we start at 41° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Blairgowrie antenna questions
How long does an antenna last near the water in Blairgowrie?
It depends on exposure and hardware. A cheap antenna with unsealed connectors can fail within a few years of salt air; an Australian-made antenna with sealed joins and stainless fittings lasts much longer. We fit the latter and back new antennas with a 25-year warranty.
Which transmitter should a Blairgowrie antenna use?
Mt Dandenong, 78 km away at about 41° (north-east), VHF with horizontal polarisation.
Can a corroded antenna be repaired?
If only the balun and first section of cable are affected, yes. If the elements are pitted or crumbling, a new antenna is better value — and you save $120 on a new install.
