Micro Antennas

Micro antennas are basically weatherized versions of indoor antennas. They sometimes include an amplifier to boost the signal strength captured by such small elements. These antennas are convenient but may only get a few strong channels like 3.x (CBS), 18.x (UNI), 24.x (PBS), 30.x (NBC), and 61.x (FOX). Don’t expect to pull in distant stations from New Haven (8-ABC) or Springfield (57-PBS) with a micro antenna unless it is mounted outside and above obstructions.
