Sizing an antenna for Drouin
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 Drouin we look for the highest practical point with a view toward north-west.
Before we start in Drouin
Mt Dandenong: 55 km at 307° (north-west), VHF horizontal. Mt Tassie (Latrobe Valley): 69 km at 115°, UHF. Expect a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge, confirmed by meter on the day.
What lies between Drouin and Mt Dandenong
Draw a line from Drouin toward Mt Dandenong at 307° and it crosses Longwarry North, Bunyip North, Avonsleigh and Olinda before reaching the transmitter 55 km away.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 69 km away at 115° (east-south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Drouin antenna we start at 307° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Drouin transmitter options
Fog and frost sit in Drouin's low ground on winter mornings, and wet antennas lose a little performance. A system with margin doesn't notice; a marginal one drops out until the sun burns it off.
