Frequencies above approximately 100 MHz almost always get through
the ionization layers.

Frequencies in the approximate range of 10 MHz to 100 MHz sometimes
get through

Frequencies below approximately 10 MHz almost never get through.

So, if by "the AM radio" you mean a Broadcast Band radio which
runs from about .5 MHz to 1.2 MHz, not a chance in hell of ever
hearing anything from off the planet.

Try again.
