Which way to point your antenna in Sherburn
The main network towers around Sherburn are in different directions: ABC 327° NNW (69 mi) and Fox 39° NE (25 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Two network stations, KMNF-CD and KEYC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles northeast of Sherburn (39° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
KRWF (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Sherburn. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Sherburn
The farthest main network tower for Sherburn is KRWF (ABC), 69 miles away with a very 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.
