Antenna and amplifier advice for Wollochet

The farthest main network tower for Wollochet is KING-TV (NBC), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KBTC-TV is only 3.4 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.
