WJLA-TV (ABC), WUSA (CBS), WRC-TV (NBC), WTTG (Fox) and WETA-TV (PBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Shenandoah Farms. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Shenandoah Farms is WETA-TV (PBS), 54 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.

WDVM-TV is only 3.3 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.
