Which way to point your antenna in Klamath Falls

Point your antenna SE, at about 139°. The main network towers for Klamath Falls sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KDKF and KOTI, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles southeast of Klamath Falls (139° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Klamath Falls at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Klamath Falls

The farthest main network tower for Klamath Falls is KOTI (NBC), 12 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KMVU-DT (Fox), 50 miles west, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Klamath Falls: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 139° SE, the direction of KOTI (NBC), 12 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 11 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
