KUPK (ABC), KBSD-DT (CBS) and KSNG (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Beaver. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Beaver
The farthest main network tower for Beaver is KSNG (NBC), 69 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
K34IN-D is only 0.9 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.
