Which way to point your antenna in Snowflake

Antenna and amplifier advice for Snowflake
The farthest of the closest towers for Snowflake is KDTP, 28 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
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.
