Point your antenna SSW, at about 199°. The main network towers for Montgomery sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WFFF-TV, WVNY, WCAX-TV, WPTZ and WNNE, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles south of Montgomery (199° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Montgomery at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Montgomery is WPTZ (NBC), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
