Which way to point your antenna in Evart

Point your antenna N, at about 357°. The main network towers for Evart sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WFQX-TV and WWTV, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles north of Evart (346° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Evart at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WPBN-TV (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Evart. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Evart

The farthest main network tower for Evart is WPBN-TV (ABC), 59 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.

WCMU-TV is only 11 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 Evart: step by step

  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 9° N, the direction of WPBN-TV (ABC), 59 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 13 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.
