Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Monument Beach at fair strength or better, 55% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Monument Beach

The farthest main network tower for Monument Beach is WBTS-CD (NBC), 52 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

  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 322° NW, the direction of WBTS-CD (NBC), 52 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).
