Antenna and amplifier advice for La Fermina

The farthest main network tower for La Fermina is WVXF (Fox), 61 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WTCV is only 7.0 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.
