It's not a separate mode -- the AM frequencies just happen to fall in their range: instead of DAH-dih-DAH-DAH dih-dih-dih dih-dih-dih-dih you get Bob the DJ or the baseball game. If anyone has a lot of spare time and nothing else that interests them, we could emulate that very roughly with a few short nonsensical audio loops and a recording of each letter of the alphabet being sung (for station identification on the hour). Before GPS receivers were common, I think that people actually tracked to AM transmission towers sometimes in VFR cross-countries off the airways.
