The Buln Buln East signal: distance and open country
On a Buln Buln East block the TV may be 40 metres or more from the antenna, with a shed or second dwelling further again. Every metre of cable loses signal, and cheap RG59 loses a lot. We use low-loss RG6, keep runs as short as the layout allows and add a distribution amplifier where several outlets share the signal.

The signal's route to Buln Buln East
Draw a line from Buln Buln East toward Mt Tassie at 127° and it crosses Shady Creek and Churchill before reaching the transmitter 61 km away.
The alternative, Mt Dandenong, is 64 km away at 294° (west-north-west) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face south-east. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
A Buln Buln East install, done properly
On larger Buln Buln East properties we sometimes install the antenna on a pole in the clear and run cable underground to the house. It costs more than a roof mount but solves stubborn reception problems.
Common Buln Buln East call-outs

Buln Buln East: quick answers
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.
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.
Why has my reception faded over the years?
Often a windbreak or tree line has grown into the path. Raising the antenna or moving it usually restores it.
