Which way to point your antenna in Raubsville

Point your antenna S, at about 183°. The main network towers for Raubsville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WPVI-TV, WPPX-TV, KYW-TV, WUVP-DT and WPHL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles south of Raubsville (184° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Raubsville

The farthest main network tower for Raubsville is WTXF-TV (Fox), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 52 miles northwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
