Which way to point your antenna in Sedan

The main network towers around Sedan are in different directions: Trinity 151° SSE (48 mi), K28NV-D 241° WSW (54 mi) and KRSU-TV 147° SSE (59 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

K28NV-D and KRSU-TV lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Sedan. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Sedan

The farthest main network tower for Sedan is KRSU-TV, 59 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Sedan: step by step

  1. Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
  2. Point it toward 147° SSE, the direction of KRSU-TV, 59 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 1 station, 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.
