Two network stations, KTAJ-TV and KPXE-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles north of Raymore (348° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Raymore at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Raymore

The farthest main network tower for Raymore is WDAF-TV (Fox), 20 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KMCI-TV is only 13 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.
