I am a regular user of the 198Khz BBC Radio 4 transmissions.OK, so AM isn't hifi, but it's perfectly adequate, no hiss, no silly telescopic
antennas to get broken, no moving the antenna two inches to the left to get a better signal, and free alerts to on coming thunderstorms ;-)
A few months ago I disposed of my two DAB (220MHz audio digital broadcasting band
for those outside the UK / EU).
I got so fed up with such poor battery life of them.
AM BCB is so much easier, just tune into one or two of the national frequencies
and it's so much easier than rescanning multiplexes.
