From our job notes
Mordialloc creek and coast
Mordialloc gets salt from both the bay and the creek. Corrosion on baluns, splitters and connectors is the most common fault we find.
Newer townhouses near the station have the usual builder-antenna issues — small antennas mounted low.
Why coastal antennas fail early in Mordialloc
Sea breezes in Mordialloc also mean fatigue. Elements that vibrate in constant wind work loose at the boom. A slight rattle on a windy day is often the first sign an antenna is on the way out.

What lies between Mordialloc and Mt Dandenong
Between Mordialloc and Mt Dandenong lie Dingley Village, Waverley Gardens, Mountain Gate and The Basin. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 29 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Mordialloc antenna we start at 51° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Mordialloc antenna questions
How long does an antenna last near the water in Mordialloc?
It depends on exposure and hardware. A cheap antenna with unsealed connectors can fail within a few years of salt air; an Australian-made antenna with sealed joins and stainless fittings lasts much longer. We fit the latter and back new antennas with a 25-year warranty.
Which transmitter should a Mordialloc antenna use?
Mt Dandenong, 29 km away at about 51° (north-east), VHF with horizontal polarisation.
Can a corroded antenna be repaired?
If only the balun and first section of cable are affected, yes. If the elements are pitted or crumbling, a new antenna is better value — and you save $120 on a new install.
