Which way to point your antenna in Neenah

Point your antenna ENE, at about 60°. The main network towers for Neenah sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WFRV-TV, WMEI and WGBA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles northeast of Neenah (67° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Neenah at fair strength or better, 86% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Neenah

The farthest main network tower for Neenah is WLUK-TV (Fox), 28 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.

Setting up an antenna in Neenah: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 56° ENE, the direction of WLUK-TV (Fox), 28 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 10 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
