Sending AM signals down the house' FM coax?! feasible?

Posted by Timbo in Oz on August 16, 2019 at 21:03:08:
1 a. This would reduce the installation cost of the enclosed, shielded, mast-mount, powered remote AM antenna I'm saving up for. If I can feed it into the existing and new FM cabling and tap off into the AM RCVRs in the house.

1 b. What should I use to tap into the AM signal, off the wall plates? A splitter and then? a balun and a bit of twin ribbon?

2 Why does Timbo WANT to do this?

a. Any AM antenna inside gives lots of crackles. Even tunable coils. And, there are/will be three other AM/FM rcvr s in the house.

b. Several AM stations here do music of value to me, some of the time, and most of them transmit with a wide audio BW to boot.

2c. I have a wide audio BW AM rcvr, mono only, but ICGAS. And there are other AM/FM boxes in-house

2d. News! I am becoming irritated by the breathless, agitated, style of 24hr news on TV. Particularly the 'morning presenter genre'. Our ABC (sort of BBC?) radio news manages to avoid this.
