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.

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.

With 6 stations at fair strength or better, Fulda ranks 281st of 371 places in Minnesota: fewer than the typical Minnesota town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 43 miles away, against a state median of 24 miles.
