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, use bands with frequencies above 13000 KHz.
• At night, use bands with frequencies below 13000 KHz.
• Around sunset and sunrise, use bands with the entire shortwave

range.

• Getting very close to a window improves shortwave reception.

SSB enables listening to shortwave two way communications
using the single sideband mode such as amateur radio, Morse
code, weather-fax transmissions and other signals often referred
to as ‘utility’ signals. The Internet and your local library are great
