Which way to point your antenna in Yoe

The main network towers around Yoe are in different directions: ABC 181° S (40 mi), CBS 181° S (40 mi), NBC 6° N (8.7 mi) and Fox 181° S (40 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WNUV, WBFF, WJZ-TV, WMAR-TV and WBAL-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles south of Yoe (181° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Yoe at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Yoe

The farthest main network tower for Yoe is WJZ-TV (CBS), 40 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WLZH-LD is only 2.9 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.
