Which way to point your antenna in Jasper

Point your antenna SSE, at about 150°. The main network towers for Jasper sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KBMT and KITU-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 51 miles south of Jasper (173° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Jasper at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Jasper

The farthest main network tower for Jasper is KVHP (ABC), 50 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Jasper: step by step

  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 150° SSE, the direction of KVHP (ABC), 50 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).
  4. Expect around 6 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
