Which way to point your antenna in Greenfield

Point your antenna ENE, at about 61°. The main network towers for Greenfield sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KERO-TV, KBAK-TV and KBFX-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles northeast of Greenfield (61° ENE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Greenfield at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Greenfield

The farthest main network tower for Greenfield is KBAK-TV (Fox), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
