Is there any reason why AFN doesn't broadcast in regular AM mode on
these freqs?

If they did, then their target audiences wouldn't need higher-priced
specialty receivers to tune them in. They could do it on any SW radio.

Their target audience is millitary personel who aren't supposed to liste
n on private radios anyway. They don't have a broadcast license nor do
they pay broadcast royalties.

In fact, all shortwave transmission was dropped by the AFN in favor of
satelitte feeds. Obviously there was a need to bring it back.
