FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequency and do not bend to follow
the earth's surface. Because of this,
FMbroadcastsgenerallybegintofade
at short distances from the station.

buildings,mountains,orotherobstruc-
tions. These can result in certain lis-

ionosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.
