Antenna and amplifier advice for West Boylston

The farthest main network tower for West Boylston is WFXT (Fox), 29 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.

WWJE-DT is only 15 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.
