You aren't far from the WACO transmitters, and you should see their signals well if you use a small outdoor antenna mounted on your roof. I would suggest using a Winegard HD-7694P aimed about 30 degrees from your location. Run RG-6u coaxial cable from the antenna to your TV set, and be sure to ground the cable when it comes into the houose, and you'll seee all the WACo stations without a problem.
