Reception on Coimadai acreage
Mt Dandenong is 83 km from Coimadai, bearing 108° (east-south-east), on VHF with horizontal polarisation. Open country often gives a clean path, but distance means less margin, so antenna gain and height matter more than in the suburbs.

Coimadai to Mt Dandenong: the path
