16 INTRODUCTION TO SHORTWAVE continued
SOME BASIC RULES OF THUMB
• In general, the bands with frequencies below 13 mHz (13000 kHz)
are better at night and the bands with frequencies above 13 mHz
(13000 kHz) are best during the day. The best daytime shortwave
bands are 13, 15, 16, 19, and 22 meters; 16 and 19 usually the
best. At night, the best bands are 25, 31, 41 and 49 meters, with 31
and 49 usually best.
• Around sunset and sunrise, both the day and night bands may be
exceptionally good.
• Shortwave reception is usually better in the winter than at other
times of year.
• Because the construction materials of some buildings severely block
