AM Radio Static
August 30, 2008 – 5:18 pm by John Keston
For some reason, the AM (amplitude modulated) radio static that I recorded recently is much noisier than the FM (frequency modulated) static. The noise is also at a lower frequency than the FM noise which makes sense since the FM band is at a higher frequency than the AM band. The AM band is in the kilohertz range (535 to 1705kHz) while the FM band is in the megahertz range (87.5 to 108 MHz). In any case, I think you find this recording familiar.

AM is much more dynamic. get out in your car and find the howl. if you ever find your self driving late at night and see the northern lights, turn on AM. the solar wind pushes it around, and sometimes you can hear stations hundreds of miles away. nazis from ohio.
