Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Yuma at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Yuma, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Yuma is KYMA-DT (NBC), 26 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
