Antenna and amplifier advice for Jeffersonville

The farthest main network tower for Jeffersonville is WMGT-TV (NBC), 13 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WGXA is only 13 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.
