WGAL (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Highland Park. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Highland Park is WGAL (NBC), 64 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

With 13 stations at fair strength or better, Highland Park ranks 845th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 39 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

19% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is State College, 19 miles away.
