From our job notes
Cape Woolamai
Cape Woolamai homes are exposed to Bass Strait winds, which turn poorly mounted antennas and flood unsealed connectors. We install heavy-duty masts with rust-proof hardware and seal every joint.
The path to Mt Dandenong runs across Western Port; we fit higher-gain antennas to give margin for weather.
How TV reaches Cape Woolamai
Because Cape Woolamai sits a long way from Mt Dandenong, small changes in aim matter. A two-degree turn that would go unnoticed in Melbourne can cost a network here, which is why we tighten and lock every clamp.

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Cape Woolamai; your roof may differ by a few degrees. Repeaters are low-power and directional, so we always confirm with a meter on site.
The signal's route to Cape Woolamai
Draw a line from Cape Woolamai toward Mt Dandenong at 1° and it crosses French Island, Clyde North, Harkaway, Belgrave Heights and Tecoma before reaching the transmitter 77 km away.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 108 km away at 83° (east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face north. 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.
