Hah, KFI. We used to listen to it on a small AM radio when camping in Northern California, 550 miles away.

In my youth, I built a crystal radio that required no external power and was able
to receive about 12 local AM Channels. I would go to bed at night listening to
KLIF 1190 and thought it was the bomb!

Yes, I did as well, back when such things were magic, and it led me into becoming an engineer. Now, with cellphones, kids miss out on such things.

Steely Dan got it right:

No static at all. FM......
