Which way to point your antenna in Perry
Point your antenna SSW, at about 193°. The main network towers for Perry 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 49 miles south of Perry (193° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Perry 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 Perry, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Perry
The farthest main network tower for Perry is KOKH-TV (Fox), 52 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
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.

- Point it toward 192° SSW, the direction of KOKH-TV (Fox), 52 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).

- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
