KDAH (650 AM) is a talk radio station in Nashwauk, Minnesota. KDAH is owned by Midwest Communications. Midwest owns 5 radio stations on the Iron Range; KDAH, KQDX, WMFG, WTBX, and WUSZ. All 5 stations share the same studio location on W. 37th Street in Hibbing.

KDAH broadcasts a typical AM station pattern during the day which gives it good coverage over most of Northeastern Minnesota. However at nighttime, the station broadcasts a directional pattern from five towers which makes it difficult to receive south of the immediate Iron Range. This is done to protect signals to the south broadcasting on the same frequency; particularly clear-channel station WSM in Nashville, Tennessee.
