Antenna and amplifier advice for Burnettown

The farthest main network tower for Burnettown is WAGT-CD (NBC), 7.6 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WFXG is only 6.9 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.
