Reading the hills around Nangana
Altitude helps only if there is a view. A Nangana home high on a slope may face away from Mt Dandenong with the hill itself in the way. Sometimes the answer is a repeater behind you rather than the main transmitter in front.

What lies between Nangana and Mt Dandenong
The 17 km path from Nangana to Mt Dandenong at 282° crosses open country, water or areas outside the suburbs we list, so local obstructions near your roof matter more than anything along the way.
When we aim a Nangana antenna we start at 282° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Nangana antenna questions
Should my Nangana antenna point to Mt Dandenong or a repeater?
Mt Dandenong (17 km at 282°, VHF horizontal) is the main option. In shadowed spots we try several mounting positions with a meter before deciding.
Why is my picture worse in winter or after rain?
Wet leaves absorb signal. If trees are near your antenna's path, rain makes the loss worse. Raising the antenna or moving it usually fixes it.
My neighbour gets a perfect picture — why don't I?
In hilly areas a few metres of elevation or a single tree can change everything. Your neighbour may be pointing at a different transmitter or have a clearer path. We meter from your roof specifically.
