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

What lies between Neerim East and Mt Dandenong
Between Neerim East and Mt Dandenong lie Gentle Annie and Nangana. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 59 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 69 km away at 135° (south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Neerim East antenna we start at 284° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Neerim East 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.
