Neerim North to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 58 km to reach Neerim North, passing over Nayook (6.1 km out) and Nangana (41 km out) on the way.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 73 km away at 138° (south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
The compass bearing (279°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
