Sizing an antenna for Olinda
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 Olinda we look for the highest practical point with a view toward north-west.
Before we start in Olinda
Mt Dandenong: 3.1 km at 311° (north-west), VHF horizontal. Monbulk repeater: 3.9 km at 143°, UHF vertical. Expect a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna — or, where the Monbulk repeater meters cleaner, a UHF antenna mounted vertically and aimed at it, confirmed by meter on the day.
What lies between Olinda and Mt Dandenong
The 3.1 km path from Olinda to Mt Dandenong at 311° crosses open country, water or areas outside the suburbs we list, so local obstructions near your roof matter more than anything along the way.
The path to the Monbulk repeater is only 3.9 km, bearing 143° (south-east).
When we aim a Olinda antenna we start at 311° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Why Olinda reception varies house to house
Trees grow; antennas don't. A lot of Olinda installs worked when they went up and have slowly degraded as the canopy closed in. Raising the antenna on a taller mast, or moving it to the other side of the roof, often restores a path that has been fading for years.
