Antenna and amplifier advice for Mila Doce
The farthest main network tower for Mila Doce is KVEO-TV (NBC), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
KGBT-TV is only 10 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.
