The difference isn't a physical speed. Think of the AM/FM frequency difference as a difference of bitrate. USB-A vs USB-C. Same power, in the same port, same file, one is slower and one is faster. All the same, the slower/faster talk between them could just be old-timer speak that has become industry standard verbiage. Also, and more of a fun fact, while we hate the heat waves, the high pressure (heat dome) can cause FM to carry far beyond line of sight. Pressure can capture and carry the frequency. Happens in between cold fronts during winter too, but we've received letters from as far away as Manitoba for our 18kw sister station before. It generally only happens for a few minutes to that extreme though.</blockquote>
