Which way to point your antenna in Leoti

The main network towers around Leoti are in different directions: ABC 0° N (53 mi), CBS 351° N (69 mi) and NBC 151° SSE (55 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

KLBY (ABC), KBSL-DT (CBS) and KSNG (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Leoti. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Leoti

The farthest main network tower for Leoti is KBSL-DT (CBS), 69 miles away with a very weak 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.
