Antenna and amplifier advice for DeBary
The farthest main network tower for DeBary is WFTV (ABC), 27 miles away with a good 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.
WOTF-TV is only 2.6 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.
