Which way to point your antenna in Emory
Point your antenna SE, at about 137°. The main network towers for Emory sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Emory at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.
KFXK-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Emory. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Emory
The farthest main network tower for Emory is KFXK-TV (Fox), 64 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
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.
