Antenna and amplifier advice for Red Hill

The farthest main network tower for Red Hill is WBTW (CBS), 26 miles away with a fair 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.

WHMC is only 9.2 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.
