Why period homes in Glen Huntly lose channels
Chimneys and steep gables give Glen Huntly homes good mounting points, but old brickwork needs care. We use chimney straps or wall brackets into sound masonry rather than drilling into crumbling mortar, and we check that an existing mount is still solid before re-using it.

The signal's route to Glen Huntly
Draw a line from Glen Huntly toward Mt Dandenong at 77° and it crosses Carnegie, Jordanville, Syndal, Vermont South and Studfield before reaching the transmitter 28 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face east-north-east. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
The Glen Huntly fix, step by step
If your Glen Huntly home is heritage-listed, the antenna position may matter to council. We can usually find a rear or side mounting that keeps the street frontage clear without sacrificing signal.

Glen Huntly: quick answers
Where should the antenna go on a Glen Huntly period home?
It needs a clear view toward Mt Dandenong (about 77°, east-north-east). On heritage frontages we look for a rear or side position first so the antenna is less visible from the street.
Can you mount an antenna on a chimney?
Yes, with stainless chimney straps, provided the brickwork is sound. If it is not, we use a wall or rafter bracket instead.
Will new cable fix interference from my solar or LED lights?
Often, yes. Old single-shield cable picks up noise from inverters and LED drivers; quad-shield RG6 with sealed connectors keeps it out.
