Choosing the right antenna for Hastings
Mt Dandenong broadcasts VHF with horizontal polarisation, 54 km from Hastings. That decides the antenna: it needs proper VHF elements, not a UHF-only design, with enough gain for the distance. For Hastings we usually recommend a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge.
Hastings: the sites we meter
Mt Dandenong: 54 km at 15° (north-north-east), VHF horizontal. Our usual recommendation: a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge.
The signal's route to Hastings
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 54 km to reach Hastings, passing over Pearcedale (12 km out), Cranbourne West (23 km out), Hampton Park (31 km out), Upwey (46 km out) and Ferny Creek (49 km out) on the way.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face north-north-east. 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.
What salt air does to antennas in Hastings
Within a few kilometres of the water, every surface in Hastings carries a film of salt. On an antenna it attacks the aluminium elements, the balun terminals and any F-connector that is not fully sealed. Corrosion adds resistance and lets water track into the coax, so the signal fades gradually — usually one network first, then all of them after a storm.
