Which way to point your antenna in Dundee
Point your antenna NE, at about 38°. The main network towers for Dundee 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 21 miles northeast of Dundee (37° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dundee at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northeast, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Dundee, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Dundee
The farthest main network tower for Dundee is KOIN (CBS), 21 miles away with a strong 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.
An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
