WJFW-TV (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Evergreen. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Evergreen
The farthest main network tower for Evergreen is WJFW-TV (NBC), 61 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
WSAW-TV is only 6.0 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.
