Nine network stations, KEJT-CD, KULX-CD, KUCW, KSL-TV and KUTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 52 miles south of Willard (190° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Willard at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Willard
The farthest main network tower for Willard is KSTU (Fox), 53 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
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.
