This antenna is already amplified. Advertisements give the range at 30 miles UHF and 40 miles VHF. You are at these extremes. You will need to get the antenna as high as possible on the outside of your house.

CBS and ABC are at compass heading 126 degrees. NBC is at 118 and Fox at 117. You probably are not going to pickup PBS because of the distances and direction from your location without a different or multiple antennas.

IF you can get all these channels I suspect you will be on the edge of the antenna's capabilities which will probably give you signal dropouts and a larger antenna will most likely be required to avoid the dropouts.

Try the Terk on the roof and please keep us posted on your progress.

Be careful when putting the antenna on the roof! Electrical lines and falls can kill you! Get a friend to help you!

If money is not an issue, I would hire someone to install a much larger UHF/VHF antenna than the Terk which will solve all your problems.
