DubWolf 18,534 August 24, 2019 Share August 24, 2019 I certainly don’t . There’s usually not a lot of options to begin with. People sound different than on FM . 1 Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash In 23,067 August 25, 2019 Share August 25, 2019 I have a few times, though I'd rather listen to any of the alternatives. At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospekt 11,035 August 25, 2019 Share August 25, 2019 I've listened to sports that the local sports FM stations won't carry, but that's rare. Normally I just stick to FM. Signature by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Horse 12,971 August 25, 2019 Share August 25, 2019 I don't think my radio even tunes into AM stations. Unless they're supposed to just be white noise? 1 "Always watching - Always lurking." Signature by @Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo Pad 11,681 August 25, 2019 Share August 25, 2019 I don't really listen to AM radio or radio stations in general. Most of the time, I'll listen to the radio if I'm out driving with my sister. As she mostly listens to Q102 - Philly's #1 Hit Music Station. Although, I never really turn the radio on if I'm out driving by myself. I do remember listening to the radio with my dad, whenever he turned to 93.3 WMMR - Everything that Rocks. I always enjoyed listening to that station from time to time.

Here in Scotland DAB has only recently became popular, we all use FM radio or Internet radio here usually because everyone has access to those, and they sound better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterstep 47,324 August 25, 2019 Share August 25, 2019 I never listen to the radio. Can’t stand all the annoying commercials. Plus you can’t replay your favourite songs. That said, I would listen to FM. I think there’s like 3 stations on AM and they’re all talk shows that speak a different language to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phosphor 11,538 August 26, 2019 Share August 26, 2019 I'll tune in to an AM station when repairing an old vacuum tube radio and such. There's a couple stations that are local, but it's not the kinda stuff I like to listen to On 8/24/2019 at 5:48 PM, WWolf said: People sound different than on FM .

ChB 18,574 August 26, 2019 Share August 26, 2019 Yes. In my drive to and from work, signal is too weak for me to listen to FM most of the time. I listen to AM radio for traffic/weather report, as well as sports games. 1 Thanks to @Sparklefan1234 for this awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe amplitude (signal strength, the height of the peaks on the sine wave) of a radio wave is changed for radio transmission. AM radio became huge in the 1920s, and is still used as an alternative to FM. FM: Frequency Modulation. The frequency (also signal strength, the number of peaks on the sine wave) of the radio wave is changed for the radio transmission. Invented in the late 1920s, it became widespread because of the better audio quality over AM. FM also uses the VHF radio band, which television also uses to this day. 1 "Never give up, because you can't succeed if you don't even try." - Personal Motto "Anything worth doing has risks.

Pentium100 2,296 August 27, 2019 Share August 27, 2019 There are no local AM stations where I live, but I can pick some up from far away (it's better at night). I sometimes try to listen to them, but normally I don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
