Which way to point your antenna in Lempster

Point your antenna ESE, at about 119°. The main network towers for Lempster sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WBPX-TV and WUNI, transmit from the same tower site about 69 miles southeast of Lempster (148° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lempster

The farthest main network tower for Lempster is WMUR-TV (ABC), 36 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 Lempster: 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 119° ESE, the direction of WMUR-TV (ABC), 36 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.
