Over-the-air TV in Lula
With roughly 2,880 residents, Lula is a town in Georgia. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 54 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 5 Class A, 19 low-power and 15 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 11 between 25 and 45 miles, and 40 farther out. Five of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Atlanta, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Atlanta's stations.
The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 2 (WSB-TV), CBS on channel 69 (WUPA), NBC on channel 11 (WXIA-TV), Fox on channel 5 (WAGA-TV), CW on channel 17 (WPCH-TV), ION on channel 14 (WPXA-TV), Telemundo on channel 47 (WKTB-CD), Univision on channel 34 (WUVG-DT), MeTV on channel 32.1 (WGTA) and Trinity on channel 63 (WHSG-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.
Which way to point your antenna in Lula
Point your antenna SW, at about 223°. The main network towers for Lula sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, WUPA, WUVG-DT, WPCH-TV and WAGA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 56 miles southwest of Lula (224° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lula at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
WSB-TV (ABC), WUPA (CBS), WXIA-TV (NBC) and WAGA-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Lula. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Lula
The farthest main network tower for Lula is WSB-TV (ABC), 59 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
