Tom, AM is not like FM in that a clear signal is more a function of the atmospheric conditions in addition to signal strength as AM like SW skips. Some days you'll find it difficult to get a station without noise of sufficient quality to listen to and another time or day it will be as good as a signal originating 10 miles away that would sound good on a crystal radio. I think I understand what you are asking and still suggest you look at the Eton. Also, check out the C.C. Crane, as they have both radios and antennas you may want to consider if he is looking to pick up stations quite distant. The Eton from Toronto picks up Boston, Chicago, LA, and Atlanta without an external antenna.
Unlike the old days, there are stations that at night own a frequency basically coast to coast where during the day local stations also will occupy the frequency, think that's how it works.
