Which way to point your antenna in Dixon

Point your antenna NNW, at about 348°. The main network towers for Dixon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

KMIZ (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Dixon. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Dixon

The farthest main network tower for Dixon is KMIZ (ABC), 60 miles away with a fair 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.

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 335° NNW, the direction of KMIZ (ABC), 60 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 5 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.
