Which way to point your antenna in Gruver
Point your antenna SSW, at about 200°. The main network towers for Gruver sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, KAMR-TV and KCIT, transmit from the same tower site about 68 miles south of Gruver (200° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Gruver at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.
KAMR-TV (NBC) and KCIT (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Gruver. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Gruver
The farthest main network tower for Gruver is KCIT (Fox), 68 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.
