Which way to point your antenna in Okarche

Point your antenna ESE, at about 111°. The main network towers for Okarche 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 29 miles east of Okarche (108° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Okarche at fair strength or better, 88% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Okarche

The farthest main network tower for Okarche is KOKH-TV (Fox), 30 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.
