Antenna and amplifier advice for Lawrence Park
The farthest main network tower for Lawrence Park is WICU-TV (NBC), 8.2 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
WQLN is only 7.9 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.
