If you listen to distant AM stations at night, what are they? And if you ever would be able to, would you want to visit them to meet the on air people? I like WBZ 1030 from Boston, WRVA 1140 from Richmond, and WKBN 570 from Youngstown.
When I worked third shift, I'd record 45 minutes here and there of Coast to Coast. I'd listen to it on the way home at 6am (I wish all cars had cassette/cd available as an option when I get a different car someday) and then my wife would listen to it while I went to bed. I laughed every time the "time traveler" was on or mentioned by someone.quote:

We have WHO in Des Moines which is by far the most popular radio station in the area. I enjoy the daytime local programming that provides some excellent, thought provoking dialogue, although at night the tin foil hat crowd really makes an appearance.
I was on my way out to Colorado a couple of years ago and listened to WHO for a good share of the way from about 3:00 AM to 6:00 AM. On one program they were talking about a time traveler from the future living in our midst. At first I thought it was a plot for a movie or television show, but after a while I realized that the callers really believed it. Some actually claimed to have met the guy.
A couple weeks ago I was up at 4:00 AM and was listening to the radio while getting ready for the day. This time they were talking about secret government agencies that were spying on them. One lady was positive that she saw white vans driving slowly past her house and that her phones were tapped.
There are some seriously delusional people calling in to radio stations in the wee hours of the morning. At least it's not local programming, but the "coast to coast" talk radio that draws those callers.

never in my life have a actually tuned into an am radio station
I sure don't understand that. I replaced the radio in my car a few years ago because the AM band stopped working.quote:
one time in my existance where I actually wanted to tune in to am radio and that was only to see what was there, and I than quickly left never to return
You might be surprised at what you can learn by opening your mind and losing some garbage.quote:
