Point your antenna SE, at about 143°. The main network towers for Siletz sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KMTR, KVAL-TV and KLSR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 64 miles southeast of Siletz (141° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Siletz at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

KVAL-TV (CBS) and KLSR-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Siletz. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Siletz is KLSR-TV (Fox), 64 miles away with a weak 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.

With 10 stations at fair strength or better, Siletz ranks 174th of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 35 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

30% of Oregon's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Corvallis, 34 miles away.
