What Tuerong properties need
Paddocks don't block signal, but windbreaks and rows of pines do. A Tuerong antenna that worked for years can fade as a shelter belt matures across the path toward north-north-east.

What lies between Tuerong and Mt Dandenong
Between Tuerong and Mt Dandenong lie Moorooduc, Frankston South, Sandhurst, Upper Ferntree Gully and Ferny Creek. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 56 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Tuerong antenna we start at 22° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Tuerong antenna questions
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.
Can you mount the antenna on a pole instead of the roof?
Yes — a pole mount in a clear spot with cable run to the house is a good option on larger blocks.
Can animals damage the cable?
Yes. We use conduit where stock or machinery cross, and UV-stable cable outdoors.
