From our job notes
Morwell reception
Morwell is close to Mt Tassie and generally gets a strong signal. When it fails, the cause is usually corrosion, an ageing amplifier, or mobile-network interference: we have installed LTE filters in Morwell where 4G/5G was overloading the TV system.
Older Morwell homes often have original cabling — replacing it with RG6 and proper outlets fixes most multi-TV complaints.
Signal sources for Morwell
Town centres in Morwell have more two-storey shops and offices than the surrounding streets. Homes just behind them can find their path partly blocked, and the fix is usually a taller mast rather than a bigger antenna.

When we aim a Morwell antenna we start at 146° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Morwell antenna questions
Why does my TV work some days and not others?
Usually because the antenna is pointed at a marginal site, or water is getting into a connector. Weather changes the signal path and the cable loss. We find which one it is with a meter.
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.
Has my transmitter changed?
Channel frequencies have changed over the years. A rescan helps; if the antenna was aimed for an old arrangement, it may need re-aiming too.
