About KEDB
Full-power stations are the main licensed broadcasters in a market. They may run the highest power from the tallest towers and are protected from interference, so they set the core of what you can receive.
At 1 kW effective radiated power, KEDB runs more power than 1% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.
Its antenna sits 702 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 92% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 76 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 13 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 1 city or town in our guide with about 1,230 residents.
