Between Yallourn North and Mt Tassie lie Maryvale and Morwell. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 32 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The path to the Moe repeater is only 4.4 km, bearing 230° (south-west).

Yallourn North antenna questions
Which transmitter should my Yallourn North antenna point to?
The candidates are Mt Tassie (32 km, 146°, UHF horizontal), plus the Moe repeater (4.4 km, UHF horizontal). We meter them from your roof and choose the cleanest.
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.
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.
