One of the joys of moving out of Omaha, NE was getting away from the overwhelming signals of local AM. Unfortunately, there was a trade-off of QRM (man-made noise) from all the wi-fi equipment. Getting a strong signal, particularly at night, means going to great lengths to out-power or null out the noise. The cure has been large ferrite bar antenna (preferably amplified). I have other plans afoot to try alternate means to null out noise and increase gain. Some are cheap; others aren't. Also, I have to consider the whims of the atmospheric reflecting layers. Signal can be fickle!
