Which way to point your antenna in Greenport West

Point your antenna NW, at about 325°. The main network towers for Greenport West sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WRDM-CD, WVIT, WTIC-TV, WCCT-TV and WHPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 48 miles northwest of Greenport West (330° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Greenport West at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WFSB (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Greenport West. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Greenport West

The farthest main network tower for Greenport West is WFSB (CBS), 52 miles away with a good 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.
