You can always stack the deck of possibilities in favor of an argument.

I thought I was just stating my opinion, along with the facts of the
climate where I live. No "deck stacking" here.

Lightning is not a problem for me because it does not happen very often
in southern California but I could see that being a problem in other
parts of the country. I expect that if the lightning storm was a
energetic one FM would also be affected.

Perhaps, but I'll take FM in a storm over AM any day.

FM does better in a office building because it is broadcast on a 100
times shorter wavelength that can penetrate the non-conductive openings
to where you are located inside the building.

Yes, I understand all of that.

Digital mode AM is not going to make a difference on a office building
penetration over analog.

Yes, I understand that also. That's why I'd rather see it move to FM
than to "digital AM".

FWIW, if radio stations really *are* serious about this "digital AM"
stuff, then they need some clever marketing to make it work. Call it
"ZM" or something - make people think it's something brand new.
"Digital AM" isn't going to cut it because it's stuck with the "AM" name.

It is being marketed as HD Radio, irrespective of the band.

Shilled, Edweenie?
