Which way to point your antenna in Dundas

Point your antenna N, at about 4°. The main network towers for Dundas sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, KMSP-TV, KSTP-TV, WUCW, WCCO-TV and KARE and others, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles north of Dundas (5° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dundas at fair strength or better, 86% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Dundas, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Dundas

The farthest main network tower for Dundas is KARE (NBC), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
