No AM in Cars? A VERY Bad Idea

There are many reasons for not eliminating AM in Electric cars - not having local access to emergency information is just one of them.

So why do it?

The manufacturers could be forced to shield the radio transmissions from interference by the electrical system. It might not be cheap, but it could be done.

But the federal government is not doing it.

Now, I think it's clear that protecting the American consumer is not the reason. The Feds don't care a whit for any of us.

The REAL reason is that AM radio - even after Rush Limbaugh's death - is a powerful counter to the Media Monopoly. It is a market that is still open for innovative broadcasters, political commentators, and challenges to Leftist Groupthink.

I still listen to AM occasionally. It does make the time pass on long trips. And, I appreciate the alternative nature of the medium.

That's the real danger, from the perspective of Leftists. It's a challenge to the Mainstream Media. God forbid that we manage to get Unapproved News from the Non-Left. It a particular concern as Trump's trial in NY, and the upcoming 2024 elections, will likely be a major topic of such Dissident Media.

It's just one more step in the drive to clamp down on Unofficial Information.

Be warned. And, get a radio/radio license. It could be the one thing - other than a gun - that will save your family from catastrophe.

Find a local club of radio amateurs here - ARRL. Connect with them, spend some time learning about equipment (many hams have MORE than enough radios, and will often sell you a gently used one at a very fair price). Learn how to use that radio.
