The signal will be attenuated by *any* receiving antenna, but it's the 
amplitude that will go down, not the frequency. If you could see radio 
like you see light, the transmitter would look like a bright light-bulb 
filament, but colored strongly rather than white, and receiving antennas 
would look dark, but maybe a bit reflective as well. A forest of enough 
of them in front of you might block out the view, while fewer will just 
dim it, like the shade and dappled light on a forest floor.

Other materials and objects would look from translucent grey to black or 
even pale depending on how much they tended to absorb, reflect, or 
transmit that wavelength.

You would also be able to tell AM transmitters from FM ones at a glance. 
AM ones would be flickering, while FM ones would look steady but 
shifting minutely in color. And every station in your area would be a 
filament of a different color.

(This is a bit of a simplification, as it ignores diffraction, 
interference patterns, and polarization. The first two, while almost 
unimportant with visible light, are significant with radio waves, 
because the wavelengths are comparable to the sizes of everyday objects 
such as trash cans, windows, human beings, and whatever sort of thingy 
you are. Polarization means some radio waves might be blocked by a fence 
with closely spaced vertical metal bars but only somewhat dimmed by one 
with horizontal bars, or vice versa, or similar consequences. When 
dealing with visible light, these three phenomena are much more 
infrequently encountered, but the bright colors on butterfly wings come 
from diffraction, the glittery speckly effect at the fringe of a laser 
beam dot is an interference pattern, and some sunglasses dim direct 
sunlight a lot more than they dim the reflected light from objects by 
exploiting the former's polarization.)
