Choosing a transmitter in Drysdale
Port Phillip is a smooth surface for radio waves, so the long path from Mt Dandenong to Drysdale can arrive strong — but reflections off the water can also cancel it at certain heights. Moving an antenna up or down half a metre sometimes makes a big difference.

What lies between Drysdale and Mt Dandenong

When we aim a Drysdale antenna we start at 60° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Drysdale antenna questions
Can one antenna receive both?
A combination VHF/UHF antenna can, but the two sites are in different directions, so it can only point at one. We pick the stronger, cleaner source for your address.
Does raising the antenna always help?
Not always over water — reflections can cancel the signal at certain heights. We test different heights with a meter.
Can you set up a business with several TVs?
Yes — distribution systems for cafés, clubs and offices, quoted at a fixed price.
