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

The farthest main network tower for Dravosburg is KDKA-TV (CBS), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WPCB-TV is only 6.2 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.
