Which way to point your antenna in Wymore
Point your antenna NNW, at about 338°. The main network towers for Wymore sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, KOLN and KSNB-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 54 miles northwest of Wymore (330° NNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wymore at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.
KLKN (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Wymore. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Wymore
The farthest main network tower for Wymore is KLKN (ABC), 62 miles away with a fair 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 Wymore: 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 327° NNW, the direction of KLKN (ABC), 62 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 9 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.
