Which way to point your antenna in Guthrie
Point your antenna S, at about 190°. The main network towers for Guthrie sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Five network stations, KWTV-DT, KTBO-TV, KOPX-TV, KAUT-TV and KFOR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles south of Guthrie (191° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Guthrie at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Guthrie, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Guthrie
The farthest main network tower for Guthrie is KOKH-TV (Fox), 23 miles away with a strong 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.
