Which way to point your antenna in Fairfax

Point your antenna ESE, at about 123°. The main network towers for Fairfax sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, KOKI-TV, KOTV-DT, KJRH-TV and KQCW-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 68 miles southeast of Fairfax (123° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fairfax at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

KOTV-DT (CBS) and KOKI-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Fairfax. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Fairfax

The farthest main network tower for Fairfax is KJRH-TV (NBC), 69 miles away with a weak 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.

Other stations near Fairfax

Full-power independents, low-power stations and translators that relay a bigger station's signal.

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 123° ESE, the direction of KJRH-TV (NBC), 69 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).
