Which way to point your antenna in Stratford
Point your antenna NNW, at about 331°. The main network towers for Stratford sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Seven network stations, KOKH-TV, KTUZ-TV, KOCO-TV, KOPX-TV and KAUT-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 60 miles northwest of Stratford (330° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Stratford at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Stratford, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Stratford
The farthest main network tower for Stratford is KWTV-DT (CBS), 63 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.
