What lies between Three Bridges and Mt Dandenong
Between Three Bridges and Mt Dandenong lie Hoddles Creek and Silvan. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 29 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Three Bridges antenna we start at 270° 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 Three Bridges systems

Three Bridges antenna questions
Which transmitter does Three Bridges use?
Most properties aim at Mt Dandenong, 29 km away at about 270° (west), VHF horizontal. We meter both where relevant.
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.
Do I need a taller mast?
If a rise, tree line or building sits in the path, often yes. We test at different heights before recommending one.
