James, you are completely correct.
We have never had the problem with AM BC stations here in Europe like you
guys have in the states.
My hunch is, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a 50KW AM BC station
that propagates for thousands of miles at night because our language changes
about every 300 miles! (hi) Therefore we have lots of smaller stations
broadcasting a lot less power, but in many different languages.
Not 100% true.
There WAS a BBC station on 648kHz that was so strong I could hear it
here in Jerusalem.
The BBC dropped it about a year ago in a cost cutting move, and someone
in the Netherlands took over the frequency.
