Antenna and amplifier advice for Redan
The farthest main network tower for Redan is WSB-TV (ABC), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
WGTV is only 4.2 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.
