Which way to point your antenna in Highland Park

Point your antenna SSW, at about 210°. The main network towers for Highland Park sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Eight network stations, KAZD, KUVN-DT, KDTX-TV, KPXD-TV and KXTX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles southwest of Highland Park (211° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Highland Park at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Highland Park

The farthest main network tower for Highland Park is KTVT (CBS), 22 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
