Why period homes in Mont Albert North lose channels
Chimneys and steep gables give Mont Albert North homes good mounting points, but old brickwork needs care. We use chimney straps or wall brackets into sound masonry rather than drilling into crumbling mortar, and we check that an existing mount is still solid before re-using it.

The signal's route to Mont Albert North
Draw a line from Mont Albert North toward Mt Dandenong at 98° and it crosses Box Hill, Kerrimuir, Blackburn, Nunawading, Heathwood, Ringwood East and Kilsyth South before reaching the transmitter 21 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face 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.

Mont Albert North: quick answers
Where should the antenna go on a Mont Albert North period home?
It needs a clear view toward Mt Dandenong (about 98°, east). On heritage frontages we look for a rear or side position first so the antenna is less visible from the street.
Can you mount an antenna on a chimney?
Yes, with stainless chimney straps, provided the brickwork is sound. If it is not, we use a wall or rafter bracket instead.
Will new cable fix interference from my solar or LED lights?
Often, yes. Old single-shield cable picks up noise from inverters and LED drivers; quad-shield RG6 with sealed connectors keeps it out.
