Antenna and amplifier advice for Sewall's Point

The farthest main network tower for Sewall's Point is WFLX (Fox), 43 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.

WTCE-TV is only 12 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.
