Why should you get a shortwave radio you ask? Shortwave is part of the area on your dial between the am and fm bands. These frequencies bounce off the atmosphere rather than go through it, which results in the radio waves being able to go greater distances and can even go halfway around the world. In the USA you can listen to the BBC from London, Radio Cuba, Swiss Radio International, Radio Australia, Radio Netherlands, Radio Japan, NPR , Radio China International, Voice of free China, Voice of America and many others. Most of these stations broadcast in English at various times of the day, and many stations are connected with governments which provide a view of events that CNN or FOX can't touch. Most of the international Stations can be found on a frequency band called World Band Radio. Shortwave Radios can pick up many other sources like Ham radio operators, Aircraft, Marine radios and even CB radios. There are radio ranges for each type of these to use. How successful you are in picking up these stations with your shortwave radio depends on many factors like: - How far is the transmitter from the shortwave Radio?
- Time of the day. Generally they travel better at night.
- Time of the year. Winter is usually better than summer.
- Sunspots and solar flares make the signal weak with more noise.
- Sensitivity of the shortwave radio
- The ability of the shortwave radio to tune in the signal and prevent drifting
- Frequency coverage: Radios that cover the spred from 1700 Khz to 30 Mhz. Some will also cover the longwave band that goes down to 150khz.
- Frequency Display: Most of today's shortwave radios digitally display the frequency. This can make it really easy to tune that station in. Other less expensive shortwave radios have tuning knobs that rely on moving a curser. Some shortwave radios even have both.
- Modes: Some shortwave radios tune just AM stations along with the short wave others include FM. The better shortwave radios can tune in SSB as well. This is a must if you want to listen to ham radio operators, Military, Airplanes or ships.
- Selectivity control: This lets you select how fine you want to tune the station.
