Which way to point your antenna in Eudora
Point your antenna ENE, at about 75°. The main network towers for Eudora sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WDAF-TV and KCTV, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles east of Eudora (72° ENE). 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 Eudora at fair strength or better, 70% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Eudora, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Eudora
The farthest main network tower for Eudora is KMBC-TV (ABC), 33 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.
