Which way to point your antenna in Keizer
Point your antenna NNE, at about 21°. The main network towers for Keizer sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Seven network stations, KRCW-TV, KATU, KOIN, KNMT and KPTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles north of Keizer (21° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Keizer at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Keizer, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Keizer
The farthest main network tower for Keizer is KGW (NBC), 39 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
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.
