That's the great thing about AM radio that gets lost in the shuffle.
Distance.
While most AM'ers have gone all talk, a FEW music stations still exist.
Even with a make-do antenna, most 50kW stations are rock solid at night, many THOUSANDS of miles away.
Even 1 to 5kW stations are heard thousands of miles away. One AM'er that was our FM's sister station in Tennessee was automated Country and I did all the sweepers and imaging.
I reveived MANY QSL confirmation requests from Sweden, Norway, & Finnish radio DX listeners.
On a cold, crisp winter night, click on the AM radio & dial around. You will be surprised what you hear.
