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

The farthest main network tower for Palmona Park is WBBH-TV (NBC), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WRXY-TV is only 9.2 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
