What lies between Launching Place and Mt Dandenong
Between Launching Place and Mt Dandenong lie Wandin East and Kalorama. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 22 km line affects what your antenna receives.

Launching Place antenna questions
Which transmitter does Launching Place use?
Most properties aim at Mt Dandenong, 22 km away at about 252° (west-south-west), VHF horizontal. We meter both where relevant.
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.
Do I need a taller mast?
If a rise, tree line or building sits in the path, often yes. We test at different heights before recommending one.
