Which way to point your antenna in Wallace

Point your antenna W, at about 266°. The main network towers for Wallace sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wallace 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 Wallace, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Wallace

The farthest main network tower for Wallace is WKRG-TV (CBS), 39 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WPAN is only 13 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
