What Neerim South properties need
Neerim South properties sometimes sit in a hollow with the house below the paddock line. Raising the antenna on a taller mast or moving it to a pole on higher ground can turn a marginal signal into a solid one.

What lies between Neerim South and Mt Dandenong
Between Neerim South and Mt Dandenong lie Macclesfield, Monbulk and Olinda. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 58 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 67 km away at 129° (south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Neerim South antenna we start at 290° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
How we set up Neerim South systems
For Neerim South we usually recommend a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge. If the house sits below a rise, a taller mast or a pole mount away from the house can make the difference. We aim with a meter, check every channel and leave the readings with you.
What usually goes wrong in Neerim South
- Long cable runs to outbuildings losing signal
- Corroded joins on old outdoor cable
- Lightning-damaged amplifiers on exposed sites

Neerim South antenna questions
Which transmitter does Neerim South use?
Most properties aim at Mt Dandenong, 58 km away at about 290° (west-north-west), VHF horizontal. Mt Tassie (67 km, UHF) is the alternative on some blocks. We meter both where relevant.
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.
Do I need a taller mast?
If a rise, tree line or building sits in the path, often yes. We test at different heights before recommending one.
