Which way to point your antenna in Natalia

Point your antenna E, at about 80°. The main network towers for Natalia sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, KABB, KENS, WOAI-TV, KWEX-DT and KSAT-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 36 miles east of Natalia (79° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Natalia at fair strength or better, 88% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Natalia

The farthest main network tower for Natalia is KSAT-TV (ABC), 37 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
