audio bandwidth: refers to the demodulated AM signal. Some stations send out reduced treble above a certain frequency. In these cases the first value refers to the spectrum with decreased treble, the second one refers to the spectrum with full amplitude. All values are based my own spectrum analysis with free SpecLab software. Errors are possible.
Modern hifi tuners usually dissapoint as far as AM is concerned. Walkmen are not bad. Very good are old radios from the 70ies or older ones with valves.
Maybe your grandma has got one in the attic.
The best thing you can get are communications receivers.
For portable use, I decided for the
the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 (€ 200, with shortwave, filters and SSB).
In short test it beated the Sony ICF7600 (similar). The Sangean PR3L (€ 90 without shortwave) wasn't tested too bad too. In the USA the solid "GE Super Radio" seems to have a good reputation (about 40 $, thanks, Morris for the hint).
Switch off the PC, the TV and the cell phone,
and plug off external power supplies because they cause heavy
interference.
The sound quality on AM is very poor
and never reaches the FM-sound as FM, but it is very intersting to get a
hunch how radio is made elsewhere. AM (standing for Amplitude Modulation)
makes it possible that two and more stations can be heard
simultaneously on one frequency, even with one much weaker than the
other. So listen for the background.
Most of the powerful stations pause with their transmissions in the night.
Listening to the clear frequencies can be really exciting then because weaker
stations can get through suddenly.
Darkness leads to strong signals up to 1500 km. So in the night all Europe can be heard.
On some channels up to 4 stations appear all at once.
Very interesting are the hours just before sundown and just after sundown.
The local stations in a destination up to 50 km remain the strongest ones anyway. Between
50 and 200 km there is a "skip zone" with weaker signals.
Over the sea reception is much better.
Very interesting is also short wave. There you can hear all
the continents of the world with their foreign services, most of them with
English programmes for some hours of the day. On MW you get the
national domesic services.

Introduction
Surf the Medium Wave ! You can travel the world in front of your speaker.
This list originally was for people who want to start exploring
the medium wave. Actually it has become more and more comprehensive, also including some weaker stations. The strong ones you'll notice first are bold.
Receivers
Antennas
Walkmen and transistor radios often have built-in antannas. You can
focus the reception directions by turning the whole receiver.
If your receiver has an AM antenna plug, connect it with a wire (5 m is good, 100 m is better). If possible, lead that wire through a window
to the outside. Sometimes radiators are amazingly good antennas. Put
the receiver close to it or connect the wire with it.
Avoid disturbances
Evening and Nighttime Reception
Daytime reception
In the daytime, only local reception is possible.
Transmitter coverage in accordance to power (kw) during light hours
with an average receiver, built-in antenna or 1 m wire in the summer

Which receiver?
The best thing you can get are communications receivers.
Good receivers usually cost at least about $ 500 or Euro.
For the portable use there are cheaper receivers. They are
good to make the "first steps" in medium wave reception.
I've tested the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 against the Sony ICF 7600 D. Both tend
to be best in the $ 200 - class.
The Grundig had better results on MW and a better sound quality.
They both include SSB, two filters and full shortwave range.
In Germany the Yacht Boy 400 was available for about 150 €.
But the expensive communications receivers are much better on short wave.
Overseas reception on MW will become only possible with
the exprensive ones, in combination with an outdoor antenna.
