From our job notes
Koo Wee Rup and rural Cardinia
Koo Wee Rup is flat, semi-rural country with a clear but distant path to Mt Dandenong. Higher-gain antennas on solid masts are standard, and long cable runs to sheds are common.
We size the cable and amplification for the property, not just the house.
Reception on Koo Wee Rup acreage
Mt Dandenong is 42 km from Koo Wee Rup, bearing 343° (north-north-west), on VHF with horizontal polarisation. Open country often gives a clean path, but distance means less margin, so antenna gain and height matter more than in the suburbs.

Koo Wee Rup to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 42 km to reach Koo Wee Rup, passing over Beaconsfield Upper (23 km out), Menzies Creek (31 km out), Selby (33 km out), Sherbrooke (35 km out) and Sassafras (39 km out) on the way.
The compass bearing (343°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
Masts, cable and amplifiers in Koo Wee Rup
Farm sheds with steel walls block signal completely. If you want TV in a shed or workshop on your Koo Wee Rup property, we feed it by cable from the house rather than a second antenna.
