My AM Radio isn't working

[The"threadicidal"bristolspapa]

So this is weird. My sports talk station cuts out for no apparent reason. This happens to radio stations from time to time, so I dial up to the Baltimore sports station to get my sports chatter nonsense while working. Nothing but crickets. I slowly turn the dial and realize that no AM station works. FM works fine.

What's going on. I know that there are atmospheric events that can affect the amplitude of a given radio wave, but is there something that can affect the amplitude of EVERY radio wave? Is this the first sign that we're about to get the Sarah Conner/Terminator2 dream sequence treatment?

Wait. There's AM radio?

I'll take over AM Radio if noone else is listening

There sure is. Us flatlanders can get it. Though it is fun to go up there to coal country, hit band, then hit seek, and just watch the numbers go on and on and on and on.

It's like a knitted sweater that you pull the thread but someone else keeps on knitting and knitting and kntting and knitting...and knitting.

It's back now. We will not be bowing to our Uranian overlords just yet.
