How TV reaches Rhyll
Mt Dandenong is 71 km from Rhyll, bearing 5° (north), on VHF with horizontal polarisation. Paths over water carry signal well, but they also change with the weather and tide, so we build in margin: a higher-gain antenna than the distance strictly needs.

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Rhyll; your roof may differ by a few degrees. Repeaters are low-power and directional, so we always confirm with a meter on site.
The signal's route to Rhyll
Draw a line from Rhyll toward Mt Dandenong at 5° and it crosses Tankerton, Cannons Creek, Devon Meadows, Cranbourne East, Tecoma and Sassafras before reaching the transmitter 71 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face north. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
Installing to last in Rhyll
Island and Bass Coast homes often have long roof runs from the antenna to the TVs at the far end of the house. We use low-loss RG6 and avoid unnecessary splitters so the end rooms still lock.
