Resistance:
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
When considering the distance between the transmitter and the forecast station
(330 feet open air) cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or
other obstruction in the signal path.
Closer is better.
Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
Interference:
Consider items in the signal path between the transmitter and the forecast
station.
Sometime a simple relocation of the transmitter or the forecast station will
correct the interference issue.
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
Stucco is held to the wall by a metal mesh.
Transmitting antennas (ham radio, emergency dispatch center, airports, military
base etc.)
Electrical wires (utilities, cable etc.)
Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
Dirt: Trying to receive a signal through a hill is difficult.
