Which way to point your antenna in Haysville

Point your antenna NNW, at about 328°. The main network towers for Haysville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, KSNW, KSAS-TV, KAKE and KDCU-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles northwest of Haysville (328° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Haysville at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Haysville

The farthest main network tower for Haysville is KWCH-DT (CBS), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
