Poowong East to Mt Tassie: the path
Signal from Mt Tassie travels 65 km to reach Poowong East, passing over Yinnar South (49 km out) and Jumbuk (51 km out) on the way.
The alternative, Mt Dandenong, is 68 km away at 322° (north-west) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
The compass bearing (98°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
