WSYX (ABC), WBNS-TV (CBS) and WSAZ-TV (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Waverly. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Waverly is WSAZ-TV (NBC), 59 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.
