Antenna and amplifier advice for West Ferriday

The farthest main network tower for West Ferriday is KLAX-TV (ABC), 58 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WNTZ-TV is only 7.3 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.
