As a kid, I remember listening to him regularly after bedtime hours. I don't remember the content too well, but I really enjoyed listening to him talk and interact with guests.
I also remember thinking how cool it was that we'd pick up the signal at night, when (iirc) they boosted the power on the am frequency.
- ams6110 9y agoIt's the opposite. AM radio signals carry much better at night, and (most?) stations cut power.
- themodelplumber 9y agoSome stations could boost; others had to cut power. This was IIRC an industry solution to the problem of there being only so much band available, and under such great propagation conditions in the evening you'd have multiple stations sitting on each 10 kHz step and interfering with one another.
