Antenna and amplifier advice for Marlton

The farthest main network tower for Marlton is KYW-TV (CBS), 20 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WNJT 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.
