Which way to point your antenna in Fulda
The main network towers around Fulda are in different directions: ABC 7° N (43 mi) and Fox 242° WSW (54 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Four network stations, KELO-TV, KSFY-TV, KDLT-TV and KSFL-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 53 miles southwest of Fulda (243° WSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fulda at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.
KRWF (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Fulda. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Fulda
The farthest main network tower for Fulda is KDLT-TV (Fox), 54 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
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.

Setting up an antenna in Fulda: step by step
- Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
- Point it toward 242° WSW, the direction of KDLT-TV (Fox), 54 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 6 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
