Sounds like the SW bands could be used for local broadcasts. A segment of the band could be ‘designated’ as a supplementary AM band.
Broadcasters would be limited to low power, enough to cover just a small city.
Then the regulators could allow electronic manufacturers to sell a downconverter box that puts the designated segment on the AM band frequencies. Just put it next to an AM receiver and listen to the ‘expanded AM band.’
