Which way to point your antenna in Lambert

Point your antenna SSW, at about 195°. The main network towers for Lambert sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lambert

The farthest main network tower for Lambert is WABG-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.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Lambert: step by step

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.
Point it toward 195° SSW, the direction of WABG-TV (ABC), 59 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 6 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
