What antenna do you need in Lawrence Township, NJ?

How far the transmitters are, and which way they sit

The nearest transmitter is 1.9 miles away, and most of the lineup sits within 32 miles.

For Lawrence Township we would start with an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The towers are far enough out that an amplified indoor antenna, or one mounted in the attic, will pull in far more of the lineup than a basic flat antenna.

The towers around Lawrence Township are spread across 272° of the compass, so no single directional antenna will reach all of them. An omnidirectional antenna picks up every direction at once but with less reach, and a rotator lets a directional antenna turn toward whichever station you want.

The limits of these numbers, and how to work around them

These are true bearings, not magnetic. A compass app on your phone usually reads magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees depending on where you are in the country. For antenna aiming that difference is small, but if you are lining up a long-range directional antenna it is worth checking your local declination.

Bearings are measured from the centre of Lawrence Township. Over the distances involved, a few miles in any direction barely moves the angle, but your own address is what ultimately matters.

Hills and buildings are not in these numbers. A transmitter 20 miles away behind a ridge can be harder to receive than one 40 miles away across flat ground. Point at the recommended bearing first, then adjust a few degrees either way while watching your TV's signal meter.

New Local Sports Channels: Watch NBA, NHL, and MLB Games Free With an Antenna

For twenty years the answer to how you watch your local team was the same everywhere: you needed cable, because most teams' games were on cable sports channels. That model is falling apart, and something unexpected is replacing it. A growing number of NBA, NHL, and MLB teams have moved their games onto local broadcast stations, where you can watch them free over the air...
