Antenna and amplifier advice for Wake Village

The farthest main network tower for Wake Village is KMSS-TV (Fox), 53 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

K14QT-D is only 1.2 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.
