Which way to point your antenna in Uniontown
The main network towers around Uniontown are in different directions: ABC 116° ESE (48 mi), CBS 116° ESE (48 mi) and Fox 263° W (69 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

WGBC (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Uniontown. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Uniontown
The farthest main network tower for Uniontown is WGBC (Fox), 69 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
