Indeed! I have been hoping for many years for the MW band in the USA 
to be replaced by a digital band for just that reason. If the MW band 
in developed countries like the USA were emptied of 90% of the 
stations, I think MW DXing would be a lot like it was in the 1920s 
and 1930s. I remember reading an old 1930s radio magazine and a 
MW DXer in the eastern US in a letter complained about she had only 
logged 34 Australian stations that season.
