Corrosion: the Williamstown North reception killer
Salt doesn't just come off the water in storms. On calm days a fine mist settles on Williamstown North roofs and dries into a crust; the next rain washes it into every unsealed joint. That is why corrosion here often starts at the connector, out of sight.

The signal's route to Williamstown North
Draw a line from Williamstown North toward Mt Dandenong at 88° and it crosses Albert Park, South Yarra, Kooyong, Box Hill South, Forest Hill, Wantirna and Kilsyth South before reaching the transmitter 42 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.

Williamstown North: quick answers
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.
How do I know if my antenna is corroded?
White powder on the elements, green or black staining at the balun, and cable that is stiff or cracked near the antenna. Reception that fails after rain is another sign.
Can you install an outdoor TV point near the water?
Yes, with weather-rated outlets and UV-stable cable suited to salt air.
