Antenna and amplifier advice for Nicoma Park
The farthest main network tower for Nicoma Park is KWTV-DT (CBS), 12 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.
KOKH-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.
