Antenna and amplifier advice for Kronenwetter

The farthest main network tower for Kronenwetter is WJFW-TV (NBC), 61 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WHRM-TV is only 8.4 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.
