Questions from Riddells Creek customers
Which transmitter should my Riddells Creek antenna point to?
The candidates are Mt Dandenong (73 km, 126°, VHF horizontal). We meter them from your roof and choose the cleanest.
Do you service all of Riddells Creek?
Yes — town blocks, newer estates and surrounding rural properties, 7 days a week.
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.
