TV reception at John Pennekamp

Wondering how the TV reception is at this State park. I would be using a standard Winegard RV antenna. Any experience there anyone?

Live in the area and have stayed there numerous times. TV reception is excellent on all the RVs I have had. All network stations, plus others. Is your antenna amplifier on?

Like I said, I did not spend much time on it. I think TV was set properly because the night before we were in Palm Beach area and got 30+ channels. I did ask a park ranger and a work camper and both said no OTA channels were available. Weird!

OP here....I got zero channels at JP...but didn't spend a lot of time trying. I asked some workers there and they said zero.

Something weird: When we got to Bahia Honda I tried the TV the first night and got over 20 channels. Could not believe it. Something strange was going on because after that one time I never got 1 channel. Didn't try too much, maybe 2-3 more times, but never got another hit. Strange.

It will likely be moderate to weak signal levels - FCC DTV Reception Maps

Our RV antennas are not 30 ft in the air - which is what the FCC calculates.

Stayed there many times and can usually only get 2 spanish tv stations.
