Which way to point your antenna in Normandy
Point your antenna S, at about 190°. The main network towers for Normandy sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, KDNL-TV and KSDK, transmit from the same tower site about 9.8 miles south of Normandy (190° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Normandy at fair strength or better, 71% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Normandy, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Normandy
The farthest main network tower for Normandy is KTVI (Fox), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
KDNL-TV is only 9.8 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
