Antenna and amplifier advice for Sugarcreek Police Dept

The farthest main network tower for Sugarcreek Police Dept is WYTV (ABC), 65 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
