TV channels & antenna towers in Aloha, Oregon

With roughly 49,400 residents, Aloha is a town in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 56 licensed TV transmitters: 10 full-power, 5 Class A, 19 low-power and 22 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 19 at good or strong strength.

21 of them are within 25 miles of Aloha, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 31 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Portland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Portland's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 2 (KATU), CBS on channel 6 (KOIN), NBC on channel 8 (KGW), Fox on channel 12 (KPTV), CW on channel 32 (KRCW-TV), ION on channel 22 (KPXG-TV) and Trinity on channel 24 (KNMT). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna ENE, at about 74°. The main network towers for Aloha sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, KPTV, KPXG-TV, KGW, KRCW-TV and KATU and others, transmit from the same tower site about 6.0 miles east of Aloha (72° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Aloha at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Aloha is KOIN (CBS), 6.6 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

KPDX is only 6.0 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.

With 21 stations at fair strength or better, Aloha ranks 20th of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 6.0 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

22% of Oregon's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is Hillsboro, 6.3 miles away.
