Reception on Little River acreage
Mt Dandenong is 79 km from Little River, bearing 82° (east), 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.

Little River to Mt Dandenong: the path
