Antenna and amplifier advice for Mauriceville
The farthest main network tower for Mauriceville is KBMT (ABC), 1.5 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
KBMT is only 1.5 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.
