Which way to point your antenna in Lakeside
Point your antenna NE, at about 51°. The main network towers for Lakeside 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 13 miles south of Lakeside (170° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lakeside at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.
KLSR-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Lakeside. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Lakeside
The farthest main network tower for Lakeside is KLSR-TV (Fox), 61 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
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.
