The builder-antenna problem in Doreen
Estate covenants in Doreen sometimes restrict where an antenna can go. A mast at the rear of the roof often satisfies the covenant and gets a better view toward Mt Dandenong than the builder's gable position anyway.
Doreen signal facts

- Mt Dandenong
- Distance & direction
- 31 km, bearing 145° (south-east)
- Band & polarisation

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Doreen; 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 Doreen
Draw a line from Doreen toward Mt Dandenong at 145° and it crosses Wattle Glen, Kangaroo Ground, Wonga Park, Croydon North and Kilsyth before reaching the transmitter 31 km away.
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.
What we install in Doreen
Second-storey additions and loft conversions are starting to appear in Doreen. If a neighbour's build has cut your path, we meter alternative positions on your roof before recommending a taller mast.
Common Doreen call-outs
- Builder-supplied antenna too small for the distance
- Antenna mounted below the ridge on the gable
- Pre-wired outlets never connected in the roof cavity

Doreen: quick answers
Which direction should a Doreen antenna face?
Toward Mt Dandenong: about 145° (south-east), 31 km away, VHF with horizontal polarisation.
Does my estate covenant restrict the antenna?
Some do. A rear-of-roof mast usually complies and often performs better than the builder position.
My Foxtel and free-to-air both dropped out — why?
They may share one cable through a diplexer that has failed. We test and replace it, or separate the services.
