Which way to point your antenna in Battle Ground

Point your antenna SSE, at about 151°. The main network towers for Battle Ground sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WPBI-CD and WPBY-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 7.3 miles south of Battle Ground (183° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Battle Ground at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WTTK (CBS), WTHR (NBC) and WXIN (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Battle Ground. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Battle Ground

The farthest main network tower for Battle Ground is WXIN (Fox), 55 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
