Sizing an antenna for Portsea
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 Portsea we look for the highest practical point with a view toward north-east.
Before we start in Portsea
Mt Dandenong: 77 km at 46° (north-east), VHF horizontal. Expect a long-range high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a tall, guyed mast, with a masthead amplifier only if the meter calls for one, confirmed by meter on the day.
What lies between Portsea and Mt Dandenong
Draw a line from Portsea toward Mt Dandenong at 46° and it crosses Aspendale, Waterways, Noble Park, Rowville and Ferntree Gully before reaching the transmitter 77 km away.
When we aim a Portsea antenna we start at 46° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Corrosion: the Portsea reception killer
Portsea is 77 km from Mt Dandenong. Over water the path is usually strong, which means coastal reception problems are almost always hardware, not distance.
