Five network stations, KDVR, KWGN-TV, KUSA, KMGH-TV and KCNC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 65 miles northeast of Leadville North (60° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

KMGH-TV (ABC), KCNC-TV (CBS), KUSA (NBC) and KDVR (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Leadville North. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Leadville North

The farthest main network tower for Leadville North is KUSA (NBC), 66 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
