Antenna and amplifier advice for Holiday Island

The farthest main network tower for Holiday Island is KRBK (Fox), 67 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

KNWA-TV is only 13 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.
