The builder-antenna problem in Rockbank
Estate covenants in Rockbank sometimes restrict where an antenna can go. A mast at the rear of the roof often satisfies the covenant and gets a better view toward Mt Dandenong than the builder's gable position anyway.

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Rockbank; your roof may differ by a few degrees. Repeaters are low-power and directional, so we always confirm with a meter on site.
The signal's route to Rockbank
Draw a line from Rockbank toward Mt Dandenong at 101° and it crosses Deanside, Sunshine North, Moonee Ponds, Clifton Hill, Mont Albert North, Rangeview and Kilsyth South before reaching the transmitter 62 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.
What we install in Rockbank
Second-storey additions and loft conversions are starting to appear in Rockbank. If a neighbour's build has cut your path, we meter alternative positions on your roof before recommending a taller mast.
Common Rockbank call-outs

Rockbank: quick answers
Which direction should a Rockbank antenna face?
Toward Mt Dandenong: about 101° (east), 62 km away, VHF with horizontal polarisation.
Does my estate covenant restrict the antenna?
Some do. A rear-of-roof mast usually complies and often performs better than the builder position.
My Foxtel and free-to-air both dropped out — why?
They may share one cable through a diplexer that has failed. We test and replace it, or separate the services.
