Which way to point your antenna in Conyngham
Point your antenna NE, at about 36°. The main network towers for Conyngham sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, WYOU, WBRE-TV, WNEP-TV and WOLF-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles northeast of Conyngham (36° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Conyngham at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Conyngham, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Conyngham
The farthest main network tower for Conyngham is WNEP-TV (ABC), 16 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WPMT (Fox), 62 miles southwest, 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.
