Reception on Bunyip North acreage
Mt Dandenong is 44 km from Bunyip North, bearing 307° (north-west), on VHF with horizontal polarisation. Mt Tassie is 80 km away on UHF, and on some properties it is the better choice. Open country often gives a clean path, but distance means less margin, so antenna gain and height matter more than in the suburbs.

Bunyip North to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 44 km to reach Bunyip North, passing over Avonsleigh (28 km out) and Olinda (41 km out) on the way.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 80 km away at 117° (east-south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
The compass bearing (307°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
Masts, cable and amplifiers in Bunyip North
Farm sheds with steel walls block signal completely. If you want TV in a shed or workshop on your Bunyip North property, we feed it by cable from the house rather than a second antenna.
