Lang Lang East to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 55 km to reach Lang Lang East, passing over Yannathan (4.6 km out), Bayles (12 km out), Dewhurst (36 km out), Clematis (43 km out), Kallista (46 km out), The Patch (48 km out) and Olinda (52 km out) on the way.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 81 km away at 100° (east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
The compass bearing (331°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
