npub1aq2wqds7uk7g9tfv6gmm2qk0t6cmqmpzh5n9hkdghgx3d0x75syspa4nfw (npub1aq2…4nfw) Yes, AM radio can cover a radius of hundreds of miles using about as much power as it takes to accelerate a car.

The receiver can run for days on a pair of AA cells, or on solar power. And everyone already has one or more AM radios. A strong AM signal can even be received with no power whatsoever.

AM radio, if it's not commercially viable, should be preserved as an emergency resource, with public access when it is not being used for that purpose.

Likewise the landline phone system.
