Four network stations, WUPA, WUVG-DT, WPCH-TV and WAGA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles southwest of Oakwood (222° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Oakwood at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Oakwood, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Oakwood
The farthest main network tower for Oakwood is WSB-TV (ABC), 42 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
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.
