Antenna and amplifier advice for Westhaven-Moonstone

The farthest main network tower for Westhaven-Moonstone is KIEM-TV (NBC), 23 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
