Try it at night, you'll be amazed at what it can do.
Most modern radios suck, here is two examples. A friend goes to some local auto races with some folks he knows that have a 60's-70's IIRC Airline multiband radio a cheap Japanese made off brand of the day. There is a low power FM station at the track that has info etc. which they listen to on the airline. Someone brought a new boom box that could not tune that station a few yards from it's transmitting antenna!
Another example: Recently some oldies stations cropped up on the AM band near me, my friend has a newer Honda and his car radio picks it up, but the sound quality of the music is SO bad fidelity wise that it is like listening to it through an old phone line. We later were in my '78 Lincoln and tuned the same station and the audio sounded so good that we though we were listening to FM for a while.
Once top AM 40 stations and AM stereo were dead most radio manufactures stopped bothering to make the AM sections of most receivers worth the parts they are made of.
