Lysterfield to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 11 km to reach Lysterfield, passing over Upper Ferntree Gully (3.9 km out), Tremont (5.8 km out), Ferny Creek (6.5 km out) and Mount Dandenong (10 km out) on the way.
The compass bearing (22°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.

Questions from Lysterfield customers
Should my Lysterfield antenna point to Mt Dandenong or a repeater?
Mt Dandenong (11 km at 22°, VHF horizontal) is the main option. In shadowed spots we try several mounting positions with a meter before deciding.
Do you fix storm and lightning damage?
Yes — blown amplifiers, bent elements and damaged cable are common after storms. We carry replacements and check every TV before leaving.
Is satellite TV better in the hills?
Only at addresses where no terrestrial signal can be received. We meter every option first, because terrestrial is free and usually works.
