Which way to point your antenna in Oologah

Point your antenna S, at about 175°. The main network towers for Oologah 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 29 miles south of Oologah (177° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Oologah at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Oologah

The farthest main network tower for Oologah is KTUL (ABC), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KDOR-TV is only 5.9 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

Setting up an antenna in Oologah: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 171° S, the direction of KTUL (ABC), 33 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 17 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
