Which way to point your antenna in Woodfield

Point your antenna ENE, at about 70°. The main network towers for Woodfield sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WLTX, WACH, WKTC, WOLO-TV and WIS, transmit from the same tower site about 9.9 miles east of Woodfield (75° ENE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Woodfield at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Woodfield

The farthest main network tower for Woodfield is WACH (Fox), 10 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WAGT-CD (NBC), 69 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.

WZRB is only 3.9 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.

Setting up an antenna in Woodfield: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 68° ENE, the direction of WACH (Fox), 10 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 12 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.
