Which way to point your antenna in Mount Vernon

Point your antenna S, at about 173°. The main network towers for Mount Vernon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

KFXK-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Mount Vernon. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Mount Vernon

The farthest main network tower for Mount Vernon is KFXK-TV (Fox), 66 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.
