Channel 11 was my most challenging channel, from nearby to Richmond. Head over to

and you can get a precise compass heading. Outdoor antennas are better than indoor. Amplifiers are probably not the answer.
Local retailer
Al Lasher's reports a run of customers just before the Olympics, for TV antennas: they have good choices and lots of experience with Channel 11.
I wish there was a local service company that specialized in installing and tuning TV antennas, but if there is I'm not aware of it.
important: NBC 11 is carried on radio channel 12. That's a
VHF channel. Dane's suggestion of the Mohu unfortunately won't work well: the Mohu is a
UHF antenna only. You'll probably need a dedicated High
VHF antenna and a mixer device. Only if you have a screaming strong channel 12 signal will the wrong antenna type work adequately.
