Re-read, please. I said, "You are tuning the AM dial to see what
unusual thing you can get."

In other words, you find some distant station, like listening to KOA
in LA... a reasonable clear signal for a DXer, but horrible for a
non-DXer due to fading, static bursts, buzz every time you go under
power lines, etc.

Now wait a minute. Here I am doing my best for discussion purposes
buying into part of your theories on what is important in AMBCB and you
try to slog the discussion back to DXing. I'm not buying into debate
tactics.

In this case, I am discussing what is acceptable reception to some is not to
others. Those used to "the old days" of listening to out of market AMs at
night have a tolerance. the younger generations do not.

You made an real world listening situation comment and I, using your
own reasoning, dismissed it based on your own market rationalizations
on what stations I should be listening too. Using your reasoning the
local stations have strong signals that sounds good on the average
car radio and not sound noisy. The other people in the car would not
object to listening to local stations.

I was only saying that tuning to an "outside station" is acceptable to
traditional AM users. To all others, it is not.

I don't DX AM radio stations in the car. I listen to distant stations,
when they sound good, for the program material. I'm a program listener
not a DXer.

If it is way out of market and on skywave, I would argue that it is DX.
Distance = DX.
