Which way to point your antenna in Redwood Falls
The main network towers around Redwood Falls are in different directions: ABC 258° WSW (19 mi) and Fox 140° SE (54 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Two network stations, KEYC-TV and KMNF-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 54 miles southeast of Redwood Falls (140° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
KEYC-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Redwood Falls. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Redwood Falls
The farthest main network tower for Redwood Falls is KEYC-TV (Fox), 54 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
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.
