I think at some point in the near future medium wave is going to fall silent so I will prob need one of these, they are available ready-made on Amazon, but what happens when FM is eventually switched off I wonder? DAB radio has it's problems and I am not a fan, I do have a Sony DAB portable in my garage/workshop but when I turn the lights on I lose the signal completely - come the winter and needing to put the lights on during the day I will have to whistle!!
PS I don't know wo Jeremey is?
Sadly, I think you are right about the AM TXs. What I find interesting is (from watching Dave Tipton's restorations) is that AM medium wave seems still well populated in Australia, making AM sets worth some effort. Added to that is the benefit of the wider audio bandwidth employed there. I was always impressed with the quality of MW signals when I lived near Brisbane.
