With roughly 1,290 residents, Spring Grove is a small community in Minnesota. Our map shows 28 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 10 full-power, 1 Class A, 12 low-power and 5 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 7 transmitters are within 25 miles, 8 between 25 and 45 miles, and 13 farther out. Three of the 7 network stations in range are licensed to La Crosse, WI, so most of the network channels you will find here come from La Crosse's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 19 (WXOW), CBS on channel 3 (KIMT), Fox on channel 25 (WLAX) and CW on channel 10.2 (KTTC). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KWWL in Waterloo, IA, 81 miles to the south. 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna NE, at about 38°. The main network towers for Spring Grove sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WLAX and WXOW, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles northeast of Spring Grove (38° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Spring Grove at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Spring Grove, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Spring Grove is WXOW (ABC), 22 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

KIMT (CBS), 54 miles west, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

With 15 stations at fair strength or better, Spring Grove ranks 143rd of 371 places in Minnesota: more than the typical Minnesota town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 21 miles away, against a state median of 24 miles.
