Braeside's signal path

What lies between Braeside and Mt Dandenong
Between Braeside and Mt Dandenong lie Springvale South, Noble Park North, Mountain Gate and The Basin. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 27 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Braeside antenna we start at 47° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Typical Braeside homes and what fails
Granny flats and backyard studios are increasingly common in Braeside. Feeding them from the main antenna is easy if the signal is split properly at the house — not with a spare two-way splitter in the roof space.

Braeside antenna questions
Which way should my Braeside antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 47° (north-east) and 27 km away, horizontally polarised on VHF. We aim with a meter, not by copying the neighbours.
My TV reception changed after solar panels went in — why?
Installers often bump the antenna or disturb the cable. Inverters can also radiate interference into old cable. We check alignment, cable and noise.
Do you work for property managers?
Yes. We meet tenants on site, send photos and meter readings, and quote at a fixed price.
