Line of sight: VOR signals are transmitted on line-of-sight. Any obstacles block VOR signals
||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\
and restrict the distance over which they are received at a given altitude.
||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\ ||\\//|\
Area of ambiguity: No to or from indication because aircraft is 90 degrees from selected
