The Eynesbury signal: distance and open country
At 70 km from Mt Dandenong, Eynesbury homes need an antenna with real gain. A small suburban antenna will not hold the picture through wind and rain at this distance.
Signal path from Eynesbury
- Main transmitter
- Mt Dandenong
- Distance & direction
- 70 km, bearing 98° (east)
- Band & polarisation
- VHF, horizontal
- Channels
- VHF 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 (plus UHF 32 for C31)
- What we usually fit
- A high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge
Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Eynesbury; 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 Eynesbury
Draw a line from Eynesbury toward Mt Dandenong at 98° and it crosses Thornhill Park, Ascot Vale, Carlton, Kew, Box Hill, Nunawading and Kilsyth South before reaching the transmitter 70 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face 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.
A Eynesbury install, done properly
Many Eynesbury homes have a TV in the shed, the workshop and the house. We design a single system with a distribution amplifier rather than three separate antennas.
Common Eynesbury call-outs

Eynesbury: quick answers
Which transmitter does Eynesbury use?
Most properties aim at Mt Dandenong, 70 km away at about 98° (east), VHF horizontal. We meter both where relevant.
Why has my reception faded over the years?
Often a windbreak or tree line has grown into the path. Raising the antenna or moving it usually restores it.
Can animals damage the cable?
Yes. We use conduit where stock or machinery cross, and UV-stable cable outdoors.
