Which way to point your antenna in Huron

Point your antenna SSW, at about 208°. The main network towers for Huron sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KSBY and KKFX-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 66 miles southwest of Huron (208° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

KSBY (NBC) and KKFX-CD (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Huron. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Huron

The farthest main network tower for Huron is KKFX-CD (Fox), 66 miles away with a very 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.

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.

Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
