Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Connell at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Connell

The farthest main network tower for Connell is KVEW (ABC), 41 miles away with a good 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.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
