Reception in Bayswater North at a glance
Some Bayswater North streets sit just below a rise that the signal from Mt Dandenong skims over. Homes on the low side get a weaker, less stable picture than their neighbours across the road. A mast that adds a metre or two of height often makes all the difference.

Bayswater North to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 6.1 km to reach Bayswater North, passing over Kilsyth South (2.8 km out) and Mount Dandenong (5.6 km out) on the way.
The compass bearing (98°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
Housing around Bayswater North
In older Bayswater North homes the original wall plates often still have screw-terminal connections. They corrode and loosen over decades. Swapping them for modern F-connector outlets is a quick, cheap fix that restores a surprising amount of signal.
Faults we fix most in Bayswater North

Questions from Bayswater North customers
My neighbour built a second storey and now my TV pixelates — can that be fixed?
Usually, yes. Raising the antenna on a taller mast, or moving it to a corner of the roof with a clear view, restores the path. We meter a few positions before committing.
Is it worth repairing an old antenna?
If the elements and mast are sound, yes — a new balun and cable is cheaper than a new antenna. If the antenna is corroded or bent, replacing it is better value, and you save $120 on a new antenna install.
Do you work for property managers?
Yes. We meet tenants on site, send photos and meter readings, and quote at a fixed price.
