Which way to point your antenna in Susitna North
Point your antenna S, at about 181°. The main network towers for Susitna North sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Three network stations, KTUU-TV, KYUR and KYES-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 51 miles south of Susitna North (181° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
KYES-TV (CBS), KTUU-TV (NBC) and KTBY (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Susitna North. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Susitna North
The farthest main network tower for Susitna North is KTBY (Fox), 65 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
