All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Waldport, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Waldport is KLSR-TV (Fox), 56 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.
