If so, how? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AM_stereo_radio_stations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:AM_Stereo_radio_stations Even one station here in Australia, but at the wrong end for me. >> and 40dB signal to noise?

I have no problem with AM for music, but the one AM music station that I used to listen to closed a few years ago. Now it's just ABC Classic on FM or bust with me. I don't have to travel far before that's the only music station you can get reliably anyway, due to FM's limited coverage and the ABC maintaining better rural coverage than any commercial stations. Forget about digital FM. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
