Which way to point your antenna in Leverett
Point your antenna SSW, at about 201°. The main network towers for Leverett sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WFXQ-CD and WGGB-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles southwest of Leverett (208° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 15 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Leverett at fair strength or better, 47% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Leverett, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Leverett
The farthest main network tower for Leverett is WVIT (NBC), 55 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.
