Antenna and amplifier advice for New Hope
The farthest main network tower for New Hope is KMSP-TV (Fox), 13 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
KSTP-TV is only 12 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.
