Which way to point your antenna in Brownlee Park
Point your antenna ENE, at about 70°. The main network towers for Brownlee Park sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Three network stations, WLLA, WOTV and WZPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles northwest of Brownlee Park (317° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Brownlee Park at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Brownlee Park, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Brownlee Park
The farthest main network tower for Brownlee Park is WILX-TV (NBC), 30 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WLNS-TV (CBS), 47 miles northeast, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.
An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
