Antenna and amplifier advice for Veazie
The farthest main network tower for Veazie is WVII-TV (ABC), 8.7 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
WMEB-TV is only 8.6 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.
