Reception of KETK-NBC calls for an outdoor mounted antenna. A Winegard HD7698P and Antennas Direct CPA-19 is one option. Point toward 325° to begin with.

If you have nearby trees, you'll benefit from additional mounting height if you are able to do so practically and safely.

Tv antennas and Tv reception

For the reception of , KHTM-LP 13 / KIBN-LP 14 / Family Network , KTRE 9 ABC , KFXL-LP 29 FOX , KLNK-LD 48 Famila Network , KLNM-LD 42 TBN , KYTX 18 CBS , KETK-DT 22 NBC. And the digital sub channels of the listed channels. Install a Winegard HD7698P antenna with a Winegard HDP-269 preamp aimed at 330 degree magnetic compass. The HD7698P antenna receives channels 7 thru 13 and 14 thru 69. KHTM is on channel 13 , KTRE is on channel 9 so your location needs a antenna that receives both VHF Hi channels 7 thru 13 and UHF channels 14 thru 69 -> the HD7698P antenna. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Here are some Strong and Sturdy antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html. Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.winegarddirect.com , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.starkelectronic.com , http://www.3starinc.com
