What lies between Greythorn and Mt Dandenong

Greythorn antenna questions
Which way should my Greythorn antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 101° (east) and 22 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.
