SHORTWAVE LISTENING
Shortwave enables listening to broadcasts over vast
distances including other countries and continents. The
following information will help you get the best results.
• During the day, frequencies above 13 MHz are usually best.
• At night, frequencies below 13 MHz are usually best.
• Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range
may be good.
Getting very close to a window and holding the radio
improves shortwave reception.
To learn about shortwave we recommend the two
publications below, published yearly and available from major
booksellers. Additionally, the Internet is a great resource for
learning about shortwave.
