Which way to point your antenna in Edgewater

Seven network stations, WESH, WKMG-TV, WOFL, WUCF-TV and WVEN-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles south of Edgewater (200° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Edgewater at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Edgewater

The farthest main network tower for Edgewater is WFTV (ABC), 30 miles away with a good 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.
