Which way to point your antenna in Broxton
Point your antenna WSW, at about 236°. The main network towers for Broxton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WALB and WFXL, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles west of Broxton (251° WSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
WFXL (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Broxton. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Broxton
The farthest main network tower for Broxton is WFXL (Fox), 61 miles away with a fair 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.
