From our job notes
Korumburra hills
Korumburra sits in rolling South Gippsland hills that block direct paths to both main transmitters for many homes. High-gain antennas and masthead amplifiers are often justified here — and the antenna height can matter more than the antenna size.
We test several mounting positions and heights before committing, so you only pay for what actually works.
Signal sources for Korumburra
Town centres in Korumburra have more two-storey shops and offices than the surrounding streets. Homes just behind them can find their path partly blocked, and the fix is usually a taller mast rather than a bigger antenna.

What lies between Korumburra and Mt Tassie
Few mapped suburbs sit on the direct line from Korumburra to Mt Tassie (65 km at 86°), so the obstacles that matter are the ones closest to your antenna.
The alternative, Mt Dandenong, is 78 km away at 329° (north-north-west) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Korumburra antenna we start at 86° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Korumburra antenna questions
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.
Why is my picture worse on foggy mornings?
Wet antennas and cable lose a little signal. If your system has no margin, that is enough to cause dropouts. Better gain or a cable fix restores it.
Has my transmitter changed?
Channel frequencies have changed over the years. A rescan helps; if the antenna was aimed for an old arrangement, it may need re-aiming too.
