Which way to point your antenna in Millers Falls

Point your antenna SSW, at about 197°. The main network towers for Millers Falls 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 24 miles south of Millers Falls (199° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 15 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Millers Falls at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WFSB (CBS) and WVIT (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Millers Falls. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Millers Falls

The farthest main network tower for Millers Falls is WVIT (NBC), 63 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

  2. Point it toward 196° SSW, the direction of WVIT (NBC), 63 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).
