Which way to point your antenna in Comfort

Point your antenna SE, at about 141°. The main network towers for Comfort sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, KABB, KVDA, KHCE-TV, KWEX-DT and KENS and others, transmit from the same tower site about 60 miles southeast of Comfort (141° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

KSAT-TV (ABC) and KENS (CBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Comfort. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Comfort

The farthest main network tower for Comfort is KSAT-TV (ABC), 62 miles away with a fair 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.

  1. Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
  2. Point it toward 141° SE, the direction of KSAT-TV (ABC), 62 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).
