No, but you might have a better reception if your radio has some kind of
electronic control, maybe digital, which is retrofitted and may compensate
variation of the carrier frequency (for Continous Wave modulations) which
will improve the listening. And as I said that is only analog. What if the
information sent is encoded digitally. Then by digital means, the signal
can be cleaned at the receiver, or can be digitized and cleaned by
processing it.

I haven't thought it, but maybe ...
