KHz, the FM band is 88-108 MHz. A band is simply a frequency range where stations are located. When you
look for stations in these "bands", you simply tune around until you find a station you like. Shortwave is similar,
and the shortwave bands have names like 25 meters, 31 meters, 49 meters, etc. These are abbreviated 25m,
31m and 49m. Just like in AM and FM radio, one simply gets into the shortwave band and tunes around, looking
for stations. For example, the 19 meter shortwave band encompasses the frequency range of 15100 to 15600
kilohertz. Here is a list of the shortwave bands used for international broadcasts and their corresponding
frequencies. Since some radios show frequency in megathertz and some in kilohertz, both are shown here.

WHAT COUNTRIES ARE HEARD ON SHORTEAVE RADIO?
The chart below shows some of the countries targeting North America with their broadcasts. Unless otherwise
noted, frequencies are for evening listening in North America. Other countries do not deliberately target North
America but can be heard anyway. Whether or not a country can be heard depends on many factors, including
signal strength, your geographic location and the condition of the earth's ionosphere. Frequencies in BOLD are
mainly used for the country's native language broadcast. The complete schedules of all shortwave broadcast
statiions, showing language, time and target area, are available in the major frequency directories shown on
the other side of this sheet.
