All in all, though, I consider FM a win - but it's nice to have the AM
option.

The weirdest FM reception I've encountered was crossing the San Rafael
Swell in Utah. That's 108 miles of nothing. The radio locked onto a
station from Michigan. Let's here it for tropospheric ducting. It didn't
last long.

I got into ham radio after sitting in the desert near Ajo AZ listening to
KOMA out of Oklahoma City. In the '90s it was an oldies format which was
good. In that part of the world 'I heard it on the X' was a reality since
the Mexican stations lit up the sky. I was impressed how the announcer
could get about 10 seconds of trill out of the 'r' in radio.
