Antenna and amplifier advice for South Uniontown

The farthest main network tower for South Uniontown is KDKA-TV (CBS), 44 miles away with a good 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.

WNPB-TV 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.
