Which way to point your antenna in Huntington
Point your antenna NW, at about 314°. The main network towers for Huntington 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 Huntington at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.
KETK-TV (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Huntington. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Huntington
The farthest main network tower for Huntington is KETK-TV (NBC), 69 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.
