Why coastal antennas fail early in Blind Bight
Sea breezes in Blind Bight 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 Blind Bight and Mt Dandenong

When we aim a Blind Bight antenna we start at 1° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Blind Bight antenna questions
How long does an antenna last near the water in Blind Bight?
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 Blind Bight antenna use?
Mt Dandenong, 42 km away at about 1° (north), 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.
