In the June 8 Science News (vol 139, page 356), at the end of article
"Startling Tales from the Magnetotail" the last paragraph says that
Galileo's plasma wave detector detected AM radio station signals when
the probe was in the Earth's magnetic tail.  Guess this sets a record
for the longest DX of AM stations!  The article doesn't say which band
it heard the stations, But here in USA, AM is usually means MW.
