Recommended Setup for This Area
Indoor Window or Tabletop Antenna
7 stations arrive with a Strong signal here. Place a quality indoor antenna near a window or wall facing the towers.
📡 VHF Alert: 4 local stations here broadcast on VHF (RF 2–13). Pick an antenna with VHF rods/elements—not a UHF-only flat square. Why this matters.
🧭 Broadcast Tower Compass — Which Way to Point Your Antenna
Each dot is a local TV tower relative to your center point (● Green = Strong, ● Blue = Moderate, ● Amber = Weak).
Primary Aim Direction: SW (233°)
Place your indoor antenna near a window or exterior wall facing SW (233°), or aim your attic/rooftop antenna toward that compass bearing for the strongest signal lock.
After placing or moving your antenna, always run a fresh TV channel rescan.
