Which way to point your antenna in Crawfordville

The main network towers around Crawfordville are in different directions: ABC 215° SW (68 mi), CBS 99° E (61 mi), NBC 215° SW (67 mi) and Fox 99° E (62 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WRDW-TV, WFXG, WAGT-CD and WJBF, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles east of Crawfordville (99° E). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

WGXA (ABC), WMGT-TV (NBC) and WFXG (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Crawfordville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Crawfordville

The farthest main network tower for Crawfordville is WGXA (ABC), 68 miles away with a very 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.
