Which way to point your antenna in Evergreen

Point your antenna SSW, at about 196°. The main network towers for Evergreen sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KCFW-TV and KAJJ-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles south of Evergreen (196° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Evergreen

The farthest main network tower for Evergreen is KCFW-TV (NBC), 15 miles away with a fair 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.

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 196° SSW, the direction of KCFW-TV (NBC), 15 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
