Does that mean you have to be on AM radio to hear about emergencies? That’s real stupid, I honestly forgot AM radio existed, why not just broadcast to FM?
Yes you would have to be listening to an AM station. I almost never listen to the radio, but when I do it is an FM station. The EBS breaks into that when any emergency arises.
AM is more effective for true emergency situations where civilization has broken down because the section of the spectrum it uses naturally propagates further. You can hear an AM station over a much larger area than an FM station.
