Antenna and amplifier advice for Langley
The farthest main network tower for Langley is WAGT-CD (NBC), 7.8 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.
WFXG 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.
