Antenna and amplifier advice for Ozone Park
The farthest main network tower for Ozone Park is WNYW (Fox), 9.2 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
WFUT-DT is only 8.9 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.
