    AM Reception

    How is your AM reception on the radio? Mine has a very irritating whistling noise most of the time, but especially when near anything large and metal like a bridge.

    Cheers

    Dunno if I'm correct, but it seems to me that there is now so much data/info sent up and down 240V AC mains by the providers and other users that receiving a "good AM signal" has become problematic in some urban areas.

    Lots of times even on a radio isolated from 240V (eg. car radio) there is the AC hum from the overhead at least and then other pops and squeaks - battery powered electric fencing seems to be an offender as well.

    No doubt some knowledgeable person can elucidate us.

    Unfortunately, the only station I choose to listen to only broadcasts on AM... I had DAB in the Jeep and that was worse - dropping out every time I went under an overpass or between tall buildings.
