Antenna and amplifier advice for Jenks
The farthest main network tower for Jenks is KTUL (ABC), 20 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
KGEB is only 1.6 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.
