What Brandy Creek properties need
Paddocks don't block signal, but windbreaks and rows of pines do. A Brandy Creek antenna that worked for years can fade as a shelter belt matures across the path toward west-north-west.

What lies between Brandy Creek and Mt Dandenong
Between Brandy Creek and Mt Dandenong lie Gembrook, Monbulk and Olinda. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 58 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 66 km away at 121° (east-south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Brandy Creek antenna we start at 301° 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 Brandy Creek systems
Outdoor cable runs on Brandy Creek properties get chewed, trampled and baked. We use UV-stable cable, conduit where stock or machinery cross, and sealed joints.

Brandy Creek antenna questions
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.
Can you mount the antenna on a pole instead of the roof?
Yes — a pole mount in a clear spot with cable run to the house is a good option on larger blocks.
Can animals damage the cable?
Yes. We use conduit where stock or machinery cross, and UV-stable cable outdoors.
