Which way to point your antenna in Leisure Village

The main network towers around Leisure Village are in different directions: ABC 12° NNE (50 mi), CBS 270° W (56 mi), NBC 11° N (47 mi) and Fox 270° W (56 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Nine network stations, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU, WTXF-TV and WUVP-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 56 miles west of Leisure Village (270° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 18 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Leisure Village at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WTXF-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Leisure Village. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Leisure Village

The farthest main network tower for Leisure Village is KYW-TV (CBS), 56 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
