LOL.

Seriously: My 20 cents: Moving current creates a magnetic field and I believe the larger the current the greater the field. This magnetic field interferes with the electronics in your radio that pick up radio transmission. So it's not the sound waves that are disturbed but rather you radio's electronics.

Now I remember why I like physics 8~)

Or it could be the church. Both locations seem to be near some KPLC high voltage thingy, AND a church. Could it be possible that strong spirit activity going on inside the church is interfering with the radio frequencies.

Spirit activity has been known to block out the sun for 3 hours, at one time in the past :-)

Am no physics guru but I think it has to do with some magnetic fields

The same thing happens just after miotoni road on Ngong Road before St
Francis Church where there is a power station..

       Guys I have an engineering/physics query,

       I have noted that in the morning on Mombasa road, coming towards
       town, somewhere at South C near the ICC church and the river,
       the car radio usually loses its signals, I know it could be due
       to the nearby KPLC transformers but I cant really explain why
       and its been bothering me.

       Anyone?
       P.N.
