Default What would I hear on a 300 GHz AM Radio Receiver?

300Ghz is a 1 mm wave. It is pure line of sight. OTOH, it would
probably be pretty quiet, both because the S/N ratio would be high
(line of sight only transmission), and few devices are capable of
generating energy accidentally or deliberately at that wavelength.

Hi:

If my location is in southern California, what would I hear on a
"DXed" 300 GHz AM Radio Receiver? Would there be a specific difference
between what I would hear at night and what I would hear during the
day?

On medium-wave station, I notice the interference -- in the form of
tones -- to be louder at night than the day. Does this difference also
apply to extreme shortwave frequencies as high as 300 GHz?

NOTE: I am aware than 300 GHz is most likely FM, not AM. However, am
still curious as to what I would hear on a 300 GHz AM receiver.


Thanks,
