Antenna and amplifier advice for Wagoner
The farthest main network tower for Wagoner is KOKI-TV (Fox), 18 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
KTUL is only 14 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.
