Which way to point your antenna in Redwood

The main network towers around Redwood are in different directions: ABC 10° N (36 mi), CBS 10° N (36 mi), NBC 11° N (36 mi) and Fox 211° SSW (42 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Seven network stations, KVDA, KHCE-TV, KABB, KWEX-DT and KSAT-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles southwest of Redwood (210° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Redwood at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Redwood

The farthest main network tower for Redwood is KABB (Fox), 42 miles away with a good 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.
