Nine network stations, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU, WTXF-TV and WUVP-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 62 miles northwest of North Beach Haven (302° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach North Beach Haven at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

WPVI-TV (ABC), KYW-TV (CBS), WCAU (NBC) and WTXF-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from North Beach Haven. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for North Beach Haven

The farthest main network tower for North Beach Haven is KYW-TV (CBS), 63 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.
