What salt air does to antennas in South Kingsville
Sand and grit blown onto South Kingsville roofs wear away the coating on aluminium elements. Once the anodising is gone, corrosion speeds up. Antennas facing the prevailing wind fail first.

South Kingsville to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 42 km to reach South Kingsville, passing over Port Melbourne (4.6 km out), Cremorne (11 km out), Hawthorn East (16 km out), Wattle Park (21 km out), Brentford Square (28 km out) and Bayswater (35 km out) on the way.

Questions from South Kingsville customers
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.
Do you service holiday homes in South Kingsville?
Yes. Many holiday and rental homes go months between visits, so faults go unreported. We can meet a property manager on site and send photos of the fix.
How often should a coastal antenna be checked?
If you are close to the water, a quick check every few years catches corrosion before it fails.
