Antenna and amplifier advice for Samsula-Spruce Creek

The farthest main network tower for Samsula-Spruce Creek is WFTV (ABC), 33 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.
