I manage a drive-in movie theatre and we transmit our sound over FM. We get a great signal all over the field where people view the movie and we even get a good signal for up to about a half mile around. However, we have a small building for the box office which is about 500 yards away from the transmitter and there seems to be a 20-25' radius black hole around the box office building where we can't get any FM signal. I've tried using an external antenna and even that doesn't help much.
Up until about 2 years ago we were able to receive the FM signal at the box office building. About the only thing that's changed is we installed a computer. However, the signal still seems to be bad when the computer is off.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It could be something about the structure of the small building itself. Maybe a metallic frame or most probably a metallic roof?
Some other probable causes: fluorescent lighting
