I wonder if more European pirates will appear on medium wave as commercial and state broadcasters abandon the band. Many countries have exited entirely already, meaning it's sometimes possible to hear these pirates at great distance. Most are from the Netherlands but I'm fairly sure every country has these 'hobby' pirates which broadcast sporadically.
Its /significantly/ more challenging to setup a medium wave station as you will need a giant antenna.
I absolutely love AM radio and would prefer to run an AM station but there is no realistic path, legally or technically, to doing it as a micro broadcaster, other then the Part 15 route which I have done.
