Which way to point your antenna in Hebron

Point your antenna NNE, at about 18°. The main network towers for Hebron sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hebron at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Hebron

The farthest main network tower for Hebron is WDPB (PBS), 17 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WCPB is only 5.7 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 Hebron: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 14° NNE, the direction of WDPB (PBS), 17 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 9 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.
