Which way to point your antenna in Lake Worth
Point your antenna ESE, at about 120°. The main network towers for Lake Worth sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Eight network stations, KDFW, WFAA, KPXD-TV, KUVN-DT and KDTX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles southeast of Lake Worth (119° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lake Worth at fair strength or better, 91% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Lake Worth, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Lake Worth
The farthest main network tower for Lake Worth is KTVT (CBS), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
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.
