Which way to point your antenna in Minorca

Point your antenna NW, at about 309°. The main network towers for Minorca sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KNOE-TV and KMLU, transmit from the same tower site about 55 miles northwest of Minorca (321° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Minorca 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 Minorca, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Minorca

The farthest main network tower for Minorca is KNOE-TV (ABC), 55 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WNTZ-TV is only 14 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

Setting up an antenna in Minorca: step by step

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.
Point it toward 321° NW, the direction of KNOE-TV (ABC), 55 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 7 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
