According to this website, there's an AFTRS facility broadcasting on
SW out of some areas in the USA, but it's on SSB instead of regular AM.

This is one of my primary reasons for wanting a good radio that can
pick up SSB

Is this page still accurate? Has anyone in the USA ever heard these
broadcasts and can report back on the signal quality?

Thanks!

This probably won't be all that helpful to you because I'm on the other
coast but I have come across a few of them from the pacific area.
Hawaii on 10320 KHz comes in most days as does 12133.5 KHz from Key west
Florida. Florida might be a good one for you as would Puerto Rico but I
see that 7507 is not on that schedule anymore.

In the past I have gotten all the locations except Diego Garcia.
Recently I came across 10320 and 12133.5 so I know those are current.

Maybe Iceland on 13855, 7590 would be your best bet. According to ILG
list Iceland also used to have 7525, 9340, 9980 so you might try those.

AFN Pearl Harbor 6.350MHz USB is the one I hear. Not on all the time.
Very boring. They have news shows and some NPR shows like Car Talk.
