Antenna and amplifier advice for Hagåtña

The farthest main network tower for Hagåtña is KTGM (ABC), 5.4 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.

KGTF is only 5.5 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.
