Reading the hills around Beaconsfield Upper
Altitude helps only if there is a view. A Beaconsfield Upper home high on a slope may face away from Mt Dandenong with the hill itself in the way. Sometimes the answer is a repeater behind you rather than the main transmitter in front.

When we aim a Beaconsfield Upper antenna we start at 340° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Beaconsfield Upper antenna questions
Should my Beaconsfield Upper antenna point to Mt Dandenong or a repeater?
Mt Dandenong (19 km at 340°, VHF horizontal) is the main option. In shadowed spots we try several mounting positions with a meter before deciding.
Why is my picture worse in winter or after rain?
Wet leaves absorb signal. If trees are near your antenna's path, rain makes the loss worse. Raising the antenna or moving it usually fixes it.
My neighbour gets a perfect picture — why don't I?
In hilly areas a few metres of elevation or a single tree can change everything. Your neighbour may be pointing at a different transmitter or have a clearer path. We meter from your roof specifically.
