What Glen Alvie properties need

What lies between Glen Alvie and Mt Tassie
Few mapped suburbs sit on the direct line from Glen Alvie to Mt Tassie (81 km at 80°), so the obstacles that matter are the ones closest to your antenna.
The alternative, Mt Dandenong, is 81 km away at 341° (north-north-west) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Glen Alvie antenna we start at 80° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Glen Alvie 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.
