Indented Head: across the bay or the local repeater?
Older antennas around Indented Head were often installed for whichever site the neighbours used, and many have never been checked since. If your picture is unreliable, the first question is whether the antenna suits the site it is pointed at — a UHF antenna aimed across the bay at a VHF transmitter will never be stable.

The signal's route to Indented Head
Draw a line from Indented Head toward Mt Dandenong at 59° and it crosses Beaumaris, Cheltenham, Clarinda, Mulgrave, Scoresby and Boronia before reaching the transmitter 65 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.

Indented Head: quick answers
Why did my picture get worse after a new antenna went up?
Often because it was a different type, or pointed at the other site. We check both the antenna type and the aim.
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.
My antenna points the opposite way to my neighbour's — is one wrong?
Not necessarily. You may be on different sites. What matters is that the antenna type matches the site it points at.
