Plenty to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 28 km to reach Plenty, passing over St Helena (2.7 km out), Eltham (6.4 km out), Warrandyte (12 km out), Warranwood (17 km out) and Croydon (20 km out) on the way.
The compass bearing (131°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
