Choosing a transmitter in Hamlyn Heights
Port Phillip is a smooth surface for radio waves, so the long path from Mt Dandenong to Hamlyn Heights can arrive strong — but reflections off the water can also cancel it at certain heights. Moving an antenna up or down half a metre sometimes makes a big difference.

Hamlyn Heights antenna questions
Can one antenna receive both?
A combination VHF/UHF antenna can, but the two sites are in different directions, so it can only point at one. We pick the stronger, cleaner source for your address.
Does raising the antenna always help?
Not always over water — reflections can cancel the signal at certain heights. We test different heights with a meter.
Can you set up a business with several TVs?
Yes — distribution systems for cafés, clubs and offices, quoted at a fixed price.
