Three network stations, KAII-TV, KOGG and KMAU, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles west of Hana (254° WSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hana at fair strength or better, all arrive from the west, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Hana

The farthest main network tower for Hana is KOGG (NBC), 25 miles away with a fair 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.

Setting up an antenna in Hana: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 254° WSW, the direction of KOGG (NBC), 25 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 5 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
