Which way to point your antenna in Fulton

Point your antenna SW, at about 223°. The main network towers for Fulton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WLOV-TV and WTVA, transmit from the same tower site about 51 miles southwest of Fulton (230° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fulton at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Fulton

The farthest main network tower for Fulton is WTVA (ABC), 51 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.
