Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Gurabo at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Gurabo is WVXF (Fox), 68 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WTCV is only 8.0 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.

With 48 stations at fair strength or better, Gurabo ranks 6th of 219 places in Puerto Rico: more than the typical Puerto Rico town (41). Its nearest major network tower is 11 miles away, against a state median of 15 miles.
