Which way to point your antenna in Pace

Point your antenna W, at about 276°. The main network towers for Pace sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WSRE, WMPV-TV and WEAR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles west of Pace (272° W). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pace at fair strength or better, all arrive from the west, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Pace

The farthest main network tower for Pace is WKRG-TV (CBS), 40 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.
