Because of the limited range of the FM senders and the fact that these waves are very reflective this
problem usually occurs with FM reception. If the sender is blocked by buildings or mountains distortion
can result.
The reason why FM but not AM is audible in covered parking ares, under bridges etc. is that FM signals
reflect against solid objects such as buildings.
Because these waves are very reflective multipath distortion can result. This distortion is the result of the
reflected signal and the direct signal reaching your antenna at slightly different time causing a
cancellation of all signals. This problem occurs largely in built-up areas.
