Many comment that "AM sounds fine to me." We find that in talking
to listeners... the older the listener, the more tolerant of AM
LoFi they tend to be. This is because the band has no inherent
stigma, and these listeners grew up on the sound... as awful as it
is.

If it's that damn awful, **** for brains, then what the **** are
you doing HERE, boy.

I am telling what the future holds, whether it is your preferred
point of vie wor not.

If regular AM is that damn bad, then you must hate shortwave even
more.

I clearly stated I was relaying listener opoinions, not mine. I grew
up on both AM and DX and have no problems with fading and such.

I would imagine that many DXers have had this experience: you are in
your car and tuning the AM dial to see what unusual thing you can
get. The passenger or passengers quickly ask why you are listeing to
"that noise."

Snip

They are objecting to the noise between stations. Turn down the volume
during station changing or use the memory buttons programed to local
stations. What a revelation this must be to you.

They are objecting to listening to a station that is not crystal clear, with
fading and static, not to the tuning in of that station.

During the daytime fading and static are not a problem. Static is not a
problem at night either but fading is a night time problem for 60 mile
plus stations from LA, San diego and further but no problem on the local
stations.

See you want your cake and you want to eat it too. Day or night is not a
problem on the locals, which according to you are the only ones to be
considered. The only problem is distant stations at night, which have
any fading associated with them and they don't count now do they.

So their is no problem with the stations that count for noise, fading or
sound quality.
