https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/nab-thinks-its-time-for-am-boosters   Huh... On FREQ, AM Radio boosters are nothing new, since I've read about Part #15 stations actually doing this permissibly for years by some ops. Ernest Wilson, of Panaxis Productions, gave examples upon how that can be done. However, that FREQ better be tight, since just as much as a 1/2Hz off could actually cancel a signal instead. I've done that test myself, tuning up a signal generator on a test bench, and watching my own AM1620 HET with it IN and OUT.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
