The real issue is that AM, on today's receivers and in today's noisy
environment, is dying and is very old technology.


I disagree with this. For the public good, so that there is reliable
communications durning disaster events, the public has to rely on
simple proven technology. AM receivers are everywhere as portables,
table radios, and in cars. It is low cost, low tech, and everywhere.

I don't think AMBCB is going to go away anytime soon.


Try to make a digital radio out of an old telephone.
