Antenna and amplifier advice for Lake Lucerne
The farthest main network tower for Lake Lucerne is WFLX (Fox), 42 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.
WTVJ is only 1.2 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.
