Which way to point your antenna in Cascade Valley

Point your antenna SW, at about 234°. The main network towers for Cascade Valley sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, KNDO, KIMA-TV, KUNW-CD and KDHW-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 70 miles southwest of Cascade Valley (234° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

KNDO (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Cascade Valley. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Cascade Valley

The farthest main network tower for Cascade Valley is KNDO (NBC), 70 miles away with a very weak 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.
