8 of them are within 25 miles of Willamina, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 32 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Portland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Portland's stations.

Point your antenna NE, at about 50°. The main network towers for Willamina 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 47 miles northeast of Willamina (49° NE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Willamina at fair strength or better, 88% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Willamina is KOIN (CBS), 47 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 15 stations at fair strength or better, Willamina ranks 112th of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 47 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
