Antenna and amplifier advice for Duquesne
The farthest main network tower for Duquesne is KOAM-TV (CBS), 17 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.
KJLN-LD is only 2.5 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.
