Missed it. They are talking sports now. Listening online.
Can you summarize?

I have a question for all of you AM radio listeners. I can listen to AM stations online easily but when I try from my car or home stereo the static and interference are quite annoying, to the point where I just can't stick with it What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried relocating your radio to another spot. I know that when I relocate mine even to another area of the same room I notice a difference in reception.

Another question: Do you have a portable radio, and do you have the same problem with it?

I can't listen well in any car. Does that qualify as portable? It is difficult to make out what they are saying.

Here is a link to Company that I've done business with with very good results. You might want to go through their web site and send for their free catalogue.

They are very good at answering questions about problems such as you are experiencing.
