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.

Then there's Radio World, you'll like this.

A Wire Antenna to Help You in a Crunch
Here’s an example of using “ham” tuner technology in commercial AM radio broadcasting

Pretty cool, he's using a modified MFJ tuner at 1390 khz! Also, the antenna designs he shows on drafting paper might help you on 160, dilopes and inverted-L.

The “K” Call AM Stations East of the Mississippi
Where do the "wrong side" stations reside?

Interesting and fun, Pitt is the only city with two ;'"K"' stations.

THANK YOU again Boomer!

ADDITIONAL: Hmmmmmmmmmm... Doing what that ENG did to the said MFJ Antenna Tuner? I have the MFJ-989D VERSA Tuner V, and it should be even an easier modification for that to do the AM Broadcast Band. As if, I´d want to. Still, neat to see that.
