Which way to point your antenna in Huguenot

Point your antenna NE, at about 38°. The main network towers for Huguenot sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WCBS-TV, WNYW, WNBC, WNJU and WPXN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles northeast of Huguenot (38° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Huguenot at fair strength or better, 69% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Huguenot

The farthest main network tower for Huguenot is WABC-TV (ABC), 18 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
