I suppose it could if they frequencies were close.  Back in college we used the campus radio station to practice homing using the ADF. lol  It was educational and entertaining all at the same time!

Well what about the station, is its antenna far away from you? There could be many other things causing interference...

i would bet your getting interference from the NDB... do you hear intermittent morse code while listening to the AM radio?

The NDB at my "home airport" sits about .9 miles from the end of the runway... occasionally we would turn our AM radios in our cars to anywhere in the 600s and we would get strange interference. early one morning i got the same interference only this time for several seconds i got the identifier for the NDB in morse code for several repetitions.
