Which way to point your antenna in Windham

Point your antenna S, at about 174°. The main network towers for Windham sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU, WCVB-TV and WLVI and others, transmit from the same tower site about 34 miles south of Windham (174° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Windham at fair strength or better, 82% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Windham

The farthest main network tower for Windham is WFXT (Fox), 35 miles away with a good 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.
