I don’t think I’ve even seen an AM station as long as I’ve been listening to radio (since the early 90s)

- themodelplumber 4y agoIt's kind of funny to read that because I sometimes browse European MWDX write-ups on the web. DX is a bit of an addicting hobby, not dissimilar to fishing or hunting in a way. It's fun to read about someone in Finland picking up an AM commercial broadcast from Brazil. You can start thinking about watts-per-km and pretty soon you have your own record book or spreadsheet going. https://www.wbaa.org/general-news/2022-04-26/finnish-am-radio-hobbyist-hears-wbaa-from-over-4-000-miles-away https://www.wbaa.org/general-news/2022-04-26/finnish-am-radi...
- saiya-jin 4y agoOh they are there, but its not something most young (<40) would ever listen to. Classical music, religious ones, some official state-sponsored ones. Behind iron curtain people only had the state ones, so some old folks are often still used to have it tuned and never bothered to change.
- dewey 4y agoAre you sure you are talking about AM and not just regular FM? I just checked for the European country I'm from and all the regular radio stations (state-sponsored, private, classical) are only available via digital or UKW (FM).
- krzyk 4y agoI'm from behind iron curtain, I have never ever heard anything on AM, I always thought it is some American thing. State sponsored are on FM.

- chrisseaton 4y agoClassical music over AM? The quality must be awful.
