Most contemporary commercial radios are not designed for DX on MW.
They are designed for local stations.

That is ridiculous.

It depends on the radio. I will say some of my hi-fidelity radios
sound like total crap.

That makes no sense.

But again, DXers are in the minority and the radio manufacturers are
catering to the majority of people who tend to exclusively listen to
local stations. Simple economics.

Ever driven cross-country? At night?

Ever lived more than 30 miles outside of town, or in a part of a city
that wasn't built up when the AM stations were built?

My 2007 SUV has a very high-performance AM radio and I can hear
stations 400+ miles away very nicely, thank-you.
