Which way to point your antenna in Kewaskum

Point your antenna SSE, at about 151°. The main network towers for Kewaskum sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, WBME-CD, WDJT-TV, WISN-TV, WVTV and WTMJ-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 32 miles southeast of Kewaskum (152° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Kewaskum

The farthest main network tower for Kewaskum is WITI (Fox), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
