Questions from Sunset Strip customers
Where should a Sunset Strip antenna point?
Usually toward Mt Dandenong, about 6° (north) and 74 km away, VHF with horizontal polarisation. We meter from the roof before deciding.
Will a storm knock my antenna out again?
Not if it is mounted for the conditions. We use heavier masts, rust-proof clamps and guy wires where needed, and seal every connection.
Why does my reception change during the day?
Over-water paths vary with weather and tide. A system with margin rides through it; a marginal one drops out.
