Which way to point your antenna in Lemoyne

The main network towers around Lemoyne are in different directions: ABC 330° NNW (6.0 mi), NBC 134° SE (20 mi) and Fox 11° N (7.3 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WXBU, WHP-TV and WPMT, transmit from the same tower site about 7.3 miles north of Lemoyne (10° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lemoyne at fair strength or better, 38% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lemoyne

The farthest main network tower for Lemoyne is WGAL (NBC), 20 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WJZ-TV (CBS), 64 miles south, 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.

WXBU is only 7.3 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 134° SE, the direction of WGAL (NBC), 20 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 17 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.
