Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Redwood at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Redwood, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Redwood
The farthest main network tower for Redwood is KABB (Fox), 42 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
