Antenna and amplifier advice for Allouez
The farthest main network tower for Allouez is WFRV-TV (CBS), 10 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
WPNE-TV is only 4.7 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.
