Sizing an antenna for Mentone
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 Mentone we look for the highest practical point with a view toward east-north-east.
Before we start in Mentone
Mt Dandenong: 30 km at 57° (east-north-east), VHF horizontal. Expect a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna, confirmed by meter on the day.
What lies between Mentone and Mt Dandenong
Draw a line from Mentone toward Mt Dandenong at 57° and it crosses Clayton South, Wheelers Hill, Knoxfield, Boronia and Mount Dandenong before reaching the transmitter 30 km away.
When we aim a Mentone antenna we start at 57° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Corrosion: the Mentone reception killer
Mentone is 30 km from Mt Dandenong. Over water the path is usually strong, which means coastal reception problems are almost always hardware, not distance.
