Antenna and amplifier advice for San Sebastián
The farthest main network tower for San Sebastián is WKAQ-TV (NBC), 63 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
WIPM-TV is only 13 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.
