Antenna and amplifier advice for Andover
The farthest main network tower for Andover is WFLX (Fox), 42 miles away with a good 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.
WPLG is only 0.1 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.
