Huh? AM stations essentially always have vertical radiators, especially
in
Europe where there are so many high powered stations.

In general, AMs don't work very well otherwise.

This concludes your antenna theory class for the day. ;-)

Very interesting discussion. Thanks.

How about introducing the masses to franklin antennas, such as the system
still in use at KFBK in Sacramento. I believe KDKA once had one, too. I saw
one in South America that had no real ground system, just the two elements
of the Frnklin and a ground mat at the base.
