[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 4305027, member: 24500"] AM radio waves travel very slow as compared to FM. That's why you can pickup AM signals coast to coast - KOMA-AM could be heard from California to Seattle to Green Bay after sunset back in the day. There's a station in Mexico city that can be heard worldwide, just the nature of slow bouncing kilohertz signals. It also makes them susceptible and sensitive to interference. AM tried to get ahead of changing electronics a few years ago with HD-AM, but the cost of equipment coupled with doubling the electric and HVAC bills didn't make the transition a profitable venture.
