Two network stations, WFIE and WEVV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles northwest of Calhoun (329° NNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Calhoun at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Calhoun is WEVV-TV (Fox), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
