Longwarry North transmitter options
Valley floors are often in partial shadow from the surrounding hills, so Longwarry North homes on rising ground can see one transmitter while those lower down rely on another. When a household moves the antenna or replaces it like-for-like, it is easy to end up pointed at the weaker option without realising.

The signal's route to Longwarry North
Draw a line from Longwarry North toward Mt Dandenong at 306° and it crosses Olinda before reaching the transmitter 45 km away.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 79 km away at 117° (east-south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face north-west. 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.
Longwarry North homes and their antennas
New estates on the edge of Longwarry North have the same builder-antenna issues as Melbourne's growth suburbs: small antennas mounted low. A correctly sized antenna aimed with a meter fixes it.

Longwarry North: quick answers
Do you install LTE/5G filters?
Yes. Near mobile towers, 4G/5G signals can overload TV amplifiers. A filter fixes it when the meter shows that is the cause.
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.
Can you set up TVs for a club or pub?
Yes — multi-screen distribution with proper amplification, and LTE filtering where needed.
