Which way to point your antenna in Feather Sound

Point your antenna E, at about 100°. The main network towers for Feather Sound sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

11 network stations, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD, WTTA and WFTS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles east of Feather Sound (98° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Feather Sound at fair strength or better, 92% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Feather Sound

The farthest main network tower for Feather Sound is WTVT (Fox), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
