Which way to point your antenna in Coquille

Point your antenna ESE, at about 111°. The main network towers for Coquille sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KMCB and KCBY-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles north of Coquille (11° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Coquille at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Coquille

The farthest main network tower for Coquille is KDRV (ABC), 59 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
