AM radio is listened to by people in cars, not SWLs. I have digital
radios that resolve to less than 10 Hz, but these are not the norm.


Actually, AM radio is listened to mostly by people at home and at work.


Sure sure 'dwardo. Most people can't even pick-up AM radio indoors.
give me a break.


Huh?

I did a double take on that one!

Where do you live, in a reinforced concrete bunker, a Faraday cage, or a
tunnel?

A sea of electronic noise.

Geoff.





I've never lived, or been anywhere, but a tunnel, or work, where the RFI
is incredible from all the servers, that I couldn't pick up dozens of AM
stations.

I can pick up at least 8 stations inside my shop, which is a 3m X 6m connex
(a great Faraday shield). Of course a couple of those stations are 1MW
plus. One is on the seaward side of the bay we're on. We're east of it,
while it's beamed north (to the DPRK) at 1.5MW days/750KW nights..

I suppose it depends where you live. In the SF Bay Area, AM rules due
to terrain issues. A few FMs have two radio stations, such as KFOG and
KFFG. Kind of annoying since there is no automatic change over between
those stations, nor are they always in sync for some strange reason.

It's not my favorite AM, but KCBS covers the whole bay area.

About 70% of all radio listening is not in the car and about 66% of AM
listening is not in a vehicle, either,


Did your mall dicks tell you this? Or was it gleaned on a street corner?

I don't trust your numbers or your methods.

It's the product of many millions of Arbitron diaries over the last few
decades.

Every market report shows each station's listening locations (Home, work,
car, other) as well as the market averages... right down to individual age
groups, genders, ethnicities.
