Which way to point your antenna in Woodstock
Point your antenna SSE, at about 155°. The main network towers for Woodstock 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 southeast of Woodstock (153° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Woodstock at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Woodstock, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Woodstock
The farthest main network tower for Woodstock is WXIA-TV (NBC), 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.
WATC-DT is only 4.4 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.
