What a Dromana repair involves
We start at the TV: is the fault on every channel or just some, every TV or just one? That narrows it to the antenna, the cable network or the set itself. Then we meter at the wall plate and at the antenna. In Dromana, with Mt Dandenong 65 km away, a healthy system shows plenty of margin; anything less tells us where the loss is.
Dromana transmitter check
Mt Dandenong: 65 km at 31° (north-north-east), VHF horizontal. Arthurs Seat repeater: 2.1 km at 212°, UHF horizontal. Most likely: a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge — or, where the Arthurs Seat repeater meters cleaner, a UHF antenna mounted horizontally and aimed at it.
The signal's route to Dromana
Draw a line from Dromana toward Mt Dandenong at 31° and it crosses Mount Martha, Kunyung, Belvedere Park, Dandenong South, Lysterfield South, Tremont and The Basin before reaching the transmitter 65 km away.
The shorter path to the Arthurs Seat repeater (2.1 km at 212°) runs over Arthurs Seat.
When we aim a Dromana antenna we start at 31° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
What salt air does to antennas in Dromana
Sea breezes in Dromana also mean fatigue. Elements that vibrate in constant wind work loose at the boom. A slight rattle on a windy day is often the first sign an antenna is on the way out.

Dromana antenna repair questions
How quickly can you fix my TV in Dromana?
Same day in most cases if you call before 11am. We work 7 days, 8am–9pm.
Why are only some channels missing in Dromana?
Different networks sit on different frequencies, so a marginal antenna or a lossy cable can drop some and keep others. Mt Dandenong broadcasts on VHF 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 (plus UHF 32 for C31); we meter each one.
Do you fix storm damage?
Yes — bent elements, turned antennas, blown amplifiers and flooded connectors. We carry common parts in the van.
