LiSTENiNG TO FM iN YOUR BOAT

The majority of FM broadcasts are music programs . Compared with AM signals, FM
signals have a wider dynamic range, are relatively immune to noise and provide virtually
distortion free music reproduction . However, because of the nature of FM signals and
the fact that FM stations are usually positioned for shore based reception, reception in a
moving boat may be accompanied by problems .
FM programs are broadcast for local reception and may not be heard satisfactorily at
distant locations . To enjoy FM programs at their best, it is important that you tune to a
station that is broadcasting in your locality .
FM signals can reflect from solid objects such as buildings or hills . If these reflected
signals are received along with signals that are arriving directly from the transmitter, they
may mix together to produce what is known as 'multipath distortion' . This distortion is
heard as noise . Often, moving as little as one metre from your position will correct
this problem .
FM signals travel in straight lines . Because the signals are reflected from or absorbed by
large solid objects, a signal 'shadow' may be present behind the object which may result
in poor reception in that area .
