Why do you insist that the atmosphere treats the carrier differently
from the rest of the signal? Geez. You have a spectrum produced by
modulation. If the modulation is AM, then a carrier is present. Now you
are saying the atmosphere is sucking out the narrow band carrier and
leaving the wideband spectrum untouched. Fiction at best.


When the signal exists over more than one path there is a difference
in phase between the two signals that algebraically cancels some parts
of the signal and strengthens other parts.
