Antenna and amplifier advice for Eucalyptus Hills
The farthest main network tower for Eucalyptus Hills is KGTV (ABC), 18 miles away with a fair 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.
KPBS 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.
