Which way to point your antenna in Fallon

Point your antenna W, at about 269°. The main network towers for Fallon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KREN-TV, KOLO-TV and KTVN, transmit from the same tower site about 60 miles west of Fallon (260° W). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Fallon

The farthest main network tower for Fallon is KRXI-TV (Fox), 62 miles away with a good 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.

Setting up an antenna in Fallon: step by step

  1. 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.
  2. Point it toward 278° W, the direction of KRXI-TV (Fox), 62 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).
  4. 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.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
