It doesn't matter if you are somewhere without a radio tower nearby. Radio signals go pretty far. Since the world is flat, it just takes a little longer for the radio signal to reach it and bounce back. Just a higher ping. I mean, it's not like the signal has to worry about its target disappearing past a horizon that isn't there. And if there are trees or buildings around, so what? Radios work in forests and cities all the time. I think you underestimate the penetrating gaze of the radio wizards. That's why wizards live in towers. Because they're so high up, they can see so much farther. Science.

One problem with radios is reflections.

That's why the radio towers are covered in mirrors. Two reflections equals a whole picture. Science.
