Which way to point your antenna in Daleville

Point your antenna ESE, at about 121°. The main network towers for Daleville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSFA and WCOV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 53 miles northwest of Daleville (330° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Daleville at fair strength or better, 29% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across four other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Daleville, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Daleville

The farthest main network tower for Daleville is WDHN (ABC), 24 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WJHG-TV (NBC), 69 miles south and WFSG (PBS), 66 miles south, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for those.

WDFX-TV is only 9.2 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

Setting up an antenna in Daleville: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 101° ESE, the direction of WDHN (ABC), 24 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 13 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
