Mitcham's signal path

What lies between Mitcham and Mt Dandenong

When we aim a Mitcham antenna we start at 96° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Mitcham antenna questions
Which way should my Mitcham antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 96° (east) and 13 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.
