Which way to point your antenna in Minco

Point your antenna NE, at about 55°. The main network towers for Minco sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, KOKH-TV, KOCO-TV, KTUZ-TV, KOPX-TV and KAUT-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles northeast of Minco (57° ENE). 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 Minco at fair strength or better, 89% 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 Minco, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Minco

The farthest main network tower for Minco is KWTV-DT (CBS), 32 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
