Which way to point your antenna in Rincon

Point your antenna SSW, at about 201°. The main network towers for Rincon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSAV-TV and WJCL, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles south of Rincon (193° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Rincon at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Rincon

The farthest main network tower for Rincon is WTGS (Fox), 18 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
