https://www.radioworld.com/columns-and-views/readers-forum/letter-am-aint-done-yet    Still, the amount of noise on the MW band just sucks.
And then, there's this:   https://www.radioworld.com/columns-and-views/guest-commentaries/did-am-radio-just-get-hit-by-lightning

Hey Pigmeat! Don't forget the Ford Feista, a.k.a. their answer to the Dodge Horizon, or the Chevy Chevette, (Or as we called it, the Shove-It!).

More AM Gripes ripped and linked from SWL'ing:  https://www.radioworld.com/columns-and-views/guest-commentaries/who-benefits-by-removing-am-from-cars

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

"Ford, the company that brought you the Edsel and the Pinto, now brings you the new F-150 Lightning without an AM radio!"

Yeah, the wonderful lightning that's already been recalled over catching fire.
