Antenna and amplifier advice for Corona de Tucson
The farthest main network tower for Corona de Tucson is KMSB (Fox), 31 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
KWBA-TV is only 14 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.
