Marked rows fall inside the recommended beam.
How far the transmitters are, which way they sit, and what that means for the antenna you buy.
The nearest transmitter is 9.9 miles away, and most of the lineup sits within 11 miles.
For Tempe we would start with a basic indoor antenna. Most of the lineup is transmitting from close by, so a flat indoor antenna in a window facing the towers should be enough.
Everything is within a 105° arc and 33 miles, which is comfortable territory for a directional indoor antenna in a window facing southwest.
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 Tempe. 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.
