Two signal paths into Queenscliff
Mt Dandenong is 79 km from Queenscliff at 53° (north-east), on VHF with horizontal polarisation. Much of that path crosses Port Phillip, which carries signal well but varies with weather. Because one is VHF and the other UHF, an antenna built for one performs poorly on the other.

- Band & polarisation
- VHF, horizontal
- Channels
- VHF 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 (plus UHF 32 for C31)

These figures come from ACMA site data and Queenscliff's coordinates. Terrain and buildings change the picture street by street, which is why every job starts with a meter reading.
Queenscliff to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 79 km to reach Queenscliff, passing over Parkdale (50 km out), Dingley Village (54 km out), Mulgrave (61 km out), Scoresby (65 km out), Mountain Gate (70 km out) and Boronia (73 km out) on the way.
The compass bearing (53°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
What fails on Queenscliff roofs
Newer estates around Queenscliff usually get builder-fitted combination antennas. They can receive both sites, but they're aimed at one — and not always the better one for the street.
