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

The farthest main network tower for Vieques is WVXF (Fox), 58 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WMTJ is only 8.5 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.
