Which way to point your antenna in Suwanee
Point your antenna SW, at about 220°. The main network towers for Suwanee sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, WUPA, WUVG-DT, WPCH-TV and WAGA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles southwest of Suwanee (222° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Suwanee at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Suwanee, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Suwanee
The farthest main network tower for Suwanee is WSB-TV (ABC), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
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.
