How come sometimes I can pick up a radio station from a different part of the country?

It is surely in the AM band. Those waves travel longer distances. And it is at night when you have more chances to pick them up.

Short waves can travel even longer distances though.How come sometimes I can pick up a radio station from a different part of the country?
SATELLITES ALSO TRANSMITT RADIO FREQUENCIES..... WERE DO YOU THINK SIRUS GOT THE IDEA....
If it happens at night then that is when radio waves travel the furthest. At night the air is thinest and has the least disturbances. This all allowes and waves to travel farther. If you are picking up shortwave or AM radio signals you can get much farther away staions at night than FM.How come sometimes I can pick up a radio station from a different part of the country?
it bounces off the ionosphere
You have too many cavities.

Try closing your mouth when you're near the radio.How come sometimes I can pick up a radio station from a different part of the country?

Complete rubbish.



Read about the ionosphere and its different layers.
