Questions from Wandana Heights customers
Should my Wandana Heights antenna point across the bay or to the local repeater?
Mt Dandenong is 99 km away (VHF, horizontal); the Highton repeater is 2.5 km away (UHF, horizontal). The better choice varies by street. We meter both and fit an antenna built for the winner.
Do you cover all of Wandana Heights?
Yes, 7 days a week, with same-day visits when you call early.
Does raising the antenna always help?
Not always over water — reflections can cancel the signal at certain heights. We test different heights with a meter.
