Large Reflective Surfaces Nearby
Your receiver trusts that the signals that it receives have
traveled directly from the satellite to your antenna. Large
nearby surfaces present opportunities for the receiver to
have signals arrive having taken multiple paths (multipath) or
entirely the wrong path.
Not only do these tanks block the view to the South, but they
also have metal-reflective surfaces that provide a multiple
length signal path for every signal from every satellite to the
observation area:
