Could AM be the new weatherband?
I'm thinking a few 50K blowtorches scattered around the country in appropriate locations would cover weather and natural disaster emergencies. That would require a continued ability to receive AM in cars.
Interesting idea. You'd need to clear the AM band of a lot of smaller signals and make sure whatever you put on doesn't step on any remaining Mexican or Canadian frequencies.
Past that, I wonder if 50K is enough, given today's noise floor. You may need more stations for adequate coverage. A distant AM in a severe storm with lots of lightning can be virtually unlistenable.
