Which way to point your antenna in Poplarville

The main network towers around Poplarville are in different directions: ABC 107° ESE (28 mi), NBC 202° SSW (66 mi) and Fox 202° SSW (66 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WLOX and WXXV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles east of Poplarville (107° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Poplarville at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across four other directions.

WDSU (NBC) and WVUE-DT (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Poplarville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Poplarville

The farthest main network tower for Poplarville is WDSU (NBC), 66 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 Poplarville: 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 202° SSW, the direction of WDSU (NBC), 66 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 8 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.
