Sizing an antenna for Dromana
Height matters as much as size. An antenna that clears the ridge and nearby roofs gets a cleaner signal than a bigger one mounted low. In Dromana we look for the highest practical point with a view toward north-north-east.
Before we start in Dromana
Mt Dandenong: 65 km at 31° (north-north-east), VHF horizontal. Arthurs Seat repeater: 2.1 km at 212°, UHF horizontal. Expect a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge — or, where the Arthurs Seat repeater meters cleaner, a UHF antenna mounted horizontally and aimed at it, confirmed by meter on the day.
What lies between Dromana and Mt Dandenong
Draw a line from Dromana toward Mt Dandenong at 31° and it crosses Mount Martha, Kunyung, Belvedere Park, Dandenong South, Lysterfield South, Tremont and The Basin before reaching the transmitter 65 km away.
The shorter path to the Arthurs Seat repeater (2.1 km at 212°) runs over Arthurs Seat.
When we aim a Dromana antenna we start at 31° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Corrosion: the Dromana reception killer
Dromana is 65 km from Mt Dandenong, with the Arthurs Seat repeater 2.1 km away. Over water the path is usually strong, which means coastal reception problems are almost always hardware, not distance.
