What lies between Hazelwood and Mt Tassie
Between Hazelwood and Mt Tassie lie Jeeralang Junction. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 20 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Hazelwood antenna we start at 118° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Hazelwood antenna questions
Which transmitter should my Hazelwood antenna point to?
The candidates are Mt Tassie (20 km, 118°, UHF horizontal). We meter them from your roof and choose the cleanest.
Why does my TV work some days and not others?
Usually because the antenna is pointed at a marginal site, or water is getting into a connector. Weather changes the signal path and the cable loss. We find which one it is with a meter.
Do you install LTE/5G filters?
Yes. Near mobile towers, 4G/5G signals can overload TV amplifiers. A filter fixes it when the meter shows that is the cause.
