Radios from that era having a really-high frequency band were designed to receive the "Apex" stations...high fidelity AM before the use of Armstrong's FM system.

The name reportedly came from the fact that the transmitting antenna had to be at the 'apex' of the desired service area to get the necessary coverage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apex_%28radio_band%29

I have one of the original RCA 100-F broadcast transmitters from 1935.
