Four network stations, WHNT-TV, WZDX, WAAY-TV and WAFF, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles southeast of Harvest (123° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Harvest at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Harvest, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Harvest
The farthest main network tower for Harvest is WAFF (NBC), 16 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
WZDX is only 15 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
