What a Garfield repair involves
When the fault is on the roof in Garfield, it is usually one of three things: water in a connector, a corroded balun, or an antenna knocked off 315° by wind or a tradesperson. Each is a straightforward repair once identified.
Before we start in Garfield
Mt Dandenong: 41 km at 315° (north-west), VHF horizontal. Typical fit: a mid-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a short mast above the roofline.
The signal's route to Garfield
Draw a line from Garfield toward Mt Dandenong at 315° and it crosses Maryknoll, Mount Burnett and Olinda before reaching the transmitter 41 km away.
When we aim a Garfield antenna we start at 315° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Reception on Garfield acreage
At 41 km from Mt Dandenong, Garfield homes need an antenna with real gain. A small suburban antenna will not hold the picture through wind and rain at this distance.

Garfield antenna repair questions
What if the problem is my TV, not the antenna?
We will tell you. If the signal is clean at the wall plate, the fault is in the TV or its settings — we can often fix that on the spot, and we will not sell you an antenna you do not need.
Do you fix storm damage?
Yes — bent elements, turned antennas, blown amplifiers and flooded connectors. We carry common parts in the van.
Can you fix it if I've already tried retuning in Garfield?
Yes. If a rescan did not help, the cause is in the signal path — antenna, cable, splitter or amplifier — and we find it with a meter.
