Which way to point your antenna in Evans
Point your antenna ESE, at about 117°. The main network towers for Evans sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, WRDW-TV, WFXG, WAGT-CD and WJBF, transmit from the same tower site about 19 miles southeast of Evans (117° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Evans at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Evans, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Evans
The farthest main network tower for Evans is WAGT-CD (NBC), 19 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.
