Which way to point your antenna in Santa Clara

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Santa Clara

The farthest main network tower for Santa Clara is K23NY-D, 6.5 miles away with a weak 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.
