Antenna and amplifier advice for Woodson Terrace

The farthest main network tower for Woodson Terrace is KMOV (CBS), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

KDNL-TV is only 10 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.
