Outdoor Rooftop Directional Antenna

Signals here are mostly distant or weak. A rooftop directional antenna (with a mast preamp) gives you the best shot at reliable HD.

📡 VHF Alert: 2 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).

NESW

Primary Aim Direction: SW (229°)

Place your indoor antenna near a window or exterior wall facing SW (229°), 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.
