Which way to point your antenna in Beechwood

Point your antenna ESE, at about 103°. The main network towers for Beechwood sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WJTV, WLBT and WDBD, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles east of Beechwood (104° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Beechwood at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Beechwood

The farthest main network tower for Beechwood is WAPT (ABC), 31 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.
