From our job notes
Nyora
Nyora is in hilly country where direct line of sight to the main transmitters is often blocked. High-gain antennas on taller masts, sometimes with masthead amplifiers, are the usual fix.
We meter several positions before deciding — on hilly blocks a few metres can change everything.
What Nyora properties need
Paddocks don't block signal, but windbreaks and rows of pines do. A Nyora antenna that worked for years can fade as a shelter belt matures across the path toward north-north-west.

What lies between Nyora and Mt Dandenong
Between Nyora and Mt Dandenong lie Lang Lang East, Yannathan, Dewhurst, Clematis, Kallista, The Patch and Olinda. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 60 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 78 km away at 98° (east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Nyora antenna we start at 331° 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 Nyora systems
Outdoor cable runs on Nyora properties get chewed, trampled and baked. We use UV-stable cable, conduit where stock or machinery cross, and sealed joints.
What usually goes wrong in Nyora
- Mast too short to clear a rise or tree line

Nyora 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.
