"Would you like some cheese to go with that whine? ;-)"
Got any halloumi?
"[...] ground transmitted [...]"
I'm not sure what you mean by that. (What it sounds like is some Tesla thingie that I'm pretty sure requires much longer wavelengths. A quick Google of the phrase turned up a bunch of references to mechanical vibrations, and one reference to navigational beacons on the ground transmitting to aircraft.)
My understanding is that both AM and FM are more or less line-of-sight, with AM diffracting around obstacles and bouncing off the ionosphere more than FM (because of the frequency ranges used, I think, rather than the inherent differences between the two modulation methods), but it's been a long time since I last checked.
Okay, one more whine
I *think* that FM is ground transmitted, but perhaps I am mistaken.
