What Lovely Banks properties need
Paddocks don't block signal, but windbreaks and rows of pines do. A Lovely Banks antenna that worked for years can fade as a shelter belt matures across the path toward east-north-east.

What lies between Lovely Banks and Mt Dandenong
Between Lovely Banks and Mt Dandenong lie Brighton, McKinnon, Murrumbeena, Oakleigh, Mount Waverley, Syndal and Studfield. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 93 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The shorter path to the Highton repeater (10 km at 189°) runs over Bell Post Hill, Hamlyn Heights, Herne Hill and Manifold Heights.
When we aim a Lovely Banks antenna we start at 74° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Lovely Banks antenna questions
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.
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.
Can animals damage the cable?
Yes. We use conduit where stock or machinery cross, and UV-stable cable outdoors.
