Which way to point your antenna in Delhi

The main network towers around Delhi are in different directions: ABC 242° WSW (38 mi), NBC 315° NW (60 mi) and Fox 104° ESE (67 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, KNOE-TV and KMLU, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles southwest of Delhi (242° WSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Delhi at fair strength or better, 38% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Delhi

The farthest main network tower for Delhi is WDBD (Fox), 67 miles away with a good 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 Delhi: 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 104° ESE, the direction of WDBD (Fox), 67 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 11 stations, 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.
