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

What lies between Nilma North and Mt Tassie
Between Nilma North and Mt Tassie lie Trafalgar, Hazelwood and Churchill. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 56 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Dandenong, is 67 km away at 300° (west-north-west) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Nilma North antenna we start at 122° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Nilma North 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.
