Nine network stations, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU, WTXF-TV and WUVP-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 56 miles northwest of Tuckerton (303° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

The farthest main network tower for Tuckerton is KYW-TV (CBS), 57 miles away with a good 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.
