Antenna and amplifier advice for Sherrelwood

The farthest main network tower for Sherrelwood is KBDI-TV (PBS), 28 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

KCNC-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.
