Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Waterford at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Waterford is WFXP (Fox), 8.0 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WSEE-TV is only 7.7 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.
