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

What lies between Crossover and Mt Dandenong
Between Crossover and Mt Dandenong lie Jindivick, Macclesfield, Monbulk and Olinda. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 60 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 64 km away at 125° (south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Crossover antenna we start at 295° 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 Crossover systems
Outdoor cable runs on Crossover properties get chewed, trampled and baked. We use UV-stable cable, conduit where stock or machinery cross, and sealed joints.

Crossover 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.
