Which way to point your antenna in Egypt Lake-Leto

11 network stations, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD, WTTA and WFTS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 19 miles southeast of Egypt Lake-Leto (128° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Egypt Lake-Leto

The farthest main network tower for Egypt Lake-Leto is WTVT (Fox), 21 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.
