The amplifier itself needs to mount at the antenna. That involves a ladder
usually, and some electrical tape for sealing the connections. Obvious
safety concerns apply. The rest is easy.



See if you can find an antenna installer or repair shop to perform an
antenna survey at your location. Higher is usually better but not always.

The survey will tell you the strength stations in your area have at your
location. Optimal antenna height will be determined along with the need
for an amplifier. You can keep screwing around with this or do it right.
