Reception on Korrine acreage

These figures come from ACMA site data and Korrine's coordinates. Terrain and buildings change the picture street by street, which is why every job starts with a meter reading.
Korrine to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 80 km to reach Korrine, passing over Almurta (4.9 km out), Kernot (8.3 km out), Beaconsfield Upper (60 km out), Menzies Creek (68 km out), Sherbrooke (72 km out) and Sassafras (76 km out) on the way.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 81 km away at 81° (east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
The compass bearing (341°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.

Questions from Korrine customers
Which transmitter does Korrine use?
Most properties aim at Mt Dandenong, 80 km away at about 341° (north-north-west), VHF horizontal. Mt Tassie (81 km, UHF) is the alternative on some blocks. We meter both where relevant.
Do you come out to rural Korrine?

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.
