Which way to point your antenna in Gotha
Point your antenna E, at about 80°. The main network towers for Gotha sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Seven network stations, WUCF-TV, WOFL, WVEN-TV, WHLV-TV and WKCF and others, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles east of Gotha (79° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Gotha at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Gotha, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Gotha
The farthest main network tower for Gotha is WESH (NBC), 29 miles away with a fair 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.
