Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Palo Seco 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 Palo Seco. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Palo Seco is WVXF (Fox), 69 miles away with a very 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.

WAPA-TV is only 11 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 42 stations at fair strength or better, Palo Seco ranks 83rd 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.
