AM (MW, LW) Reception

~1min read

AM broadcasts can be received over greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequencies. These long, low-frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travel straight out into the atmosphere.

In addition, they bend around obstacles to provide better signal coverage.
