Which way to point your antenna in Steinhatchee

Point your antenna E, at about 96°. The main network towers for Steinhatchee sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

WOGX (Fox) and WUFT (PBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Steinhatchee. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Steinhatchee

The farthest main network tower for Steinhatchee is WOGX (Fox), 67 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Steinhatchee: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 108° ESE, the direction of WOGX (Fox), 67 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 3 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
