Which way to point your antenna in Seffner

Point your antenna S, at about 174°. The main network towers for Seffner sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

11 network stations, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD, WTTA and WFTS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 9.4 miles south of Seffner (176° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Seffner at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Seffner

The farthest main network tower for Seffner is WTVT (Fox), 12 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WVEA-TV is only 9.4 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.
