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

The farthest main network tower for Jonesville is WTNZ (Fox), 67 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
