FCC, can not remember the url, website puts Village of Springdale at 65 miles from the Bithlo antenna farm near Orlando. They suggest a 30’ height for strong reception. I get “moderate “ reception at 25 feet with $25 yagi antenna, with amplifier, I bought from Amazon four years ago. I think the latest version of that antenna is up to $35 or $40 now. Be sure to ground your antenna, mast, and the wire lead in case of lightning strike.
