Questions from Wallan customers
Which transmitter should my Wallan antenna point to?
The candidates are Mt Dandenong (58 km, 146°, VHF horizontal). We meter them from your roof and choose the cleanest.
Do you service all of Wallan?
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.
