i haven't tried extensively to see what i could get...i did get something faint out of new england tuning manually around one night in the car,[auto search just goes round and round the dial endlessly]that was right around the time they announced the last local station was signing off so i was checking...whatever i got was religious programming,so i didn't listen long enough to see where it was originating from,Maine tho i think...

my restored Nordmende carmen gets nothing on AM[shortwave gets a few things],but it lacks an external antenna,and the internal one is probably shielded by the large internal foil FM antenna! when i briefly powered on my new Bendix project,it was on AM and it was getting "something" here and there..not anything really listenable but i was surprised that it was at least"seeing" faint signals...from "somewhere" during the late afternoon...

as for the girlfriends car...pushbutton presets...the stations around here were likely set ages ago and haven't moved,i doubt she tried to spin the dial manually when all the locals were absent...car is a 67 Pontiac Beaumont BTW...stored all winter and never frozen..i think there's only about 40k on it??!!
