This map displays the estimated 60 dBu service contour for WOBO. This is the area that is generally protected from interference caused by other stations under the present FCC rules. However, interference-free reception is not guaranteed at all locations within this contour. Local conditions (for example buildings, terrain, receiver quality, type of receive antenna used) can influence reception of a radio signal. Service does not stop at this contour line. In most cases, FM or TV stations can be received at locations well beyond the location of the mapped contour, with interference-free reception becoming less likely at greater distances. As a result, most stations actually provide serve to a substantially greater area than depicted by this contour. However, reception in in areas outside of this service contour is not protected from interference caused by other authorized stations. Terrain affects FM and TV signals: Land features can affect the shape of an FM or TV station's service area. For example, a mountain may truncate service in some directions, reducing the service contour. Or a valley may cause a bulge in the contour because the terrain is lower in that direction, allowing the signal to extend further. FM and TV stations will often locate on a tall tower or mountaintop to reduce the effects of intervening terrain.
