Which way to point your antenna in Fort Pierce North

Point your antenna S, at about 175°. The main network towers for Fort Pierce North sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WTVX and WPBF, transmit from the same tower site about 24 miles south of Fort Pierce North (184° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fort Pierce North at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WPEC (CBS), WPTV-TV (NBC) and WFLX (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Fort Pierce North. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Fort Pierce North

The farthest main network tower for Fort Pierce North is WFLX (Fox), 62 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
