[BC] Should Skywave Listening protection continue?

[KKTY]

I spend most every Friday and/or Saturday night from September to March on
the road covering high school football and basketball. Many of those trips
are 150 to 200 miles one way across the Big Empty of Wyoming, where there's
just plain not much local to choose from. I've always enjoyed skywave, since
I was in jr high myself, and I'd hate to think of those long trips without
it. I generally do tend to stay on the AM on road trips, because so many of
the FM's at night are just jukeboxin'.
