Hi, Pete. Interesting post.
Maybe AM activity has fallen off some because of the conditions, but out
here the AMI Net still holds forth weekely on 3870, with as many as 40-50 or
more check-ins. Also, we have a local AM Early Birds Net Sat AM's, with
several regulars (including me).
In terms of any general fall-off, maybe it's the aging of the group, of
course we know that phenonenon.
My Valiant and Ranger are faithful, and I've been meaning to run my CE
100V on AM, when I recently heard another on the air, it sounded great.

Subject: Re: [AMRadio] AM Activity?
With all the AM rigs changing hands over the last several years, and the
AM mode being included on most of the current crop of transceivers, one
might wonder why isn't AM heard more often on the bands. I've even notice
that AM in the Northeast, less a few regulars or irregulars depending on
who is drawing the description, is not as active as it use to be. As we
head to minimum in the cycle, 40, 80, and 160 meters, because of lower
noise conditions, should be great. Maybe they're all going digital.

I have not heard anything on 14286 in well over a year.
And in the PNW 3870 is dead because of band conditions.
