Which way to point your antenna in Eustis

Point your antenna ESE, at about 115°. The main network towers for Eustis sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, WUCF-TV, WOFL, WVEN-TV, WHLV-TV and WKCF and others, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles southeast of Eustis (116° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Eustis at fair strength or better, 91% 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 Eustis, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Eustis

The farthest main network tower for Eustis is WFTV (ABC), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
