Item 1.   Security and Issuer
         This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D on Hector
Communications Corporation, (the "Issuer") is being filed on
behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D amended (the
"Schedule 13D") which was originally filed on August 16, 1990. 
Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but
not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in
the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.   Identity and Background
          This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mr.
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly
controls or for which he acts as chief investment officer.  These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico
Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc.
("Entoleter"),  Lynch Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch
Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and
Inter-Community Telephone Company ("Inter-Community")
(collectively, "Lynch and its affiliates"), engage in various
aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment
adviser to various institutional and individual clients, includ-
ing registered investment companies and pension plans, as
broker/dealer and as general partner of various private invest-
ment partnerships.  Certain of these entities may also make
investments for their own accounts. 
          The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own
beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a
particular issuer.  Although several of the foregoing persons are
treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting
their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the
holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors
may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13D
or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to
time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive.  In order to avoid any question as to whether their
beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in
order to provide greater investment flexibility and administra-
tive uniformity, these persons have decided to file their benefi-
cial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form
rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide
more expansive disclosure than may be necessary. 
          (a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"),
GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc.

Performance Partnership L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli
Associates Fund ("Gabelli Associates"), Gabelli Associates
Limited ("GAL"), Gabelli & Company, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the
"Plan"), Gabelli International Limited ("GIL"), Gabelli Interna-
tional II Limited ("GIL II"), Gabelli International Gold Fund
Limited ("GIGFL"), ALCE Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"), Gabelli

          (d) and (e) -  On December 8, 1994, the SEC instituted
and simultaneously accepted offers for the settlement of an
administrative proceeding against Gabelli & Company and GAMCO. 
The order instituting the proceeding included a finding, which
Gabelli & Company and GAMCO neither admitted nor denied, that
they failed to implement and maintain policies and procedures
reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic
information by not sepecifically addressing the special
circumstances that arose from their affiliation with Lynch
Corporation, a public company.  To resolve this matter, Gabelli &
Company and GAMCO agreed to cease and desist from violating
Section 15(f) of the 1934 Act and Section 204A of the Advisers
Act, respectively.  They further agreed to each pay a civil
penalty in the amount of $50,000, and to retain, and adopt the
recommendations of, an independant consultant regarding their
Section 15(f) and Section 204A policies and procedures.  
          On December 13, 1991, the Virginia State Corporation
Commission entered an order of settlement in final disposition of
matters arising from an allegation that GAMCO had transacted
business in Virginia as an investment adviser without having been
registered as such under Virginia Code Section 13.1-504A or an
exemption therefrom.  GAMCO consented to the entry of the order
without admitting or denying the allegation and without a
hearing.  The terms of the order provide that GAMCO would pay a
fine and costs totalling fifty-five thousand dollars and would
not transact business in Virginia as an investment adviser unless
it was registered as such under section 13.1-504A or was exempt
from registration.  
     (f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto. 

Item 5.            Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
          Item 5 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part,
as follows:
         (a)  The aggregate number and percentage of Securities
to which this Schedule 13D relates is 456,087 shares and
represents 20.02% of 2,277,372 shares.  This latter number of
shares is arrived at by adding the number of shares of common
stock reported as being outstanding from the Issuer (1,887,885
shares) to the number of shares of such stock which would be
receivable by the Reporting Persons if they were to convert all
of the Issuer's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by them
(389,487 shares) into the common stock of the Issuer.  However,
the Reporting Persons' actual ownership of common stock is 3.53%.
     The Reporting Persons beneficially own the Securities as
follows: 
                                               Shares of Non-
                    Shares of      % of        Voting Series      % of

          Mr. Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the
Securities beneficially owned by each of the foregoing persons and
GFI is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities
beneficially owned by each of the foregoing persons other than Mr.
Gabelli, Inter-Community and Lynch.
          (b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has
