Which way to point your antenna in Maud

Point your antenna SSE, at about 151°. The main network towers for Maud sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KTBS-TV, KPXJ, KSLA, KMSS-TV and KSHV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 51 miles southeast of Maud (152° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Maud at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Maud

The farthest main network tower for Maud is KMSS-TV (Fox), 52 miles away with a good 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.

Setting up an antenna in Maud: step by step

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.
Point it toward 153° SSE, the direction of KMSS-TV (Fox), 52 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 10 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
