Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Clarendon 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 Clarendon, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Clarendon is KCIT (Fox), 60 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
