Special features of SW reception
Short wave reception
Your radio can receive signals in a number of frequency bands. It is easy to
get used to tuning to stations in the FM, MW and LW bands, since they are
always on the same frequencies.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case with short wave stations. Due to
atmospheric conditions, short wave stations must frequently broadcast on
different wavelengths. Most short wave bands are available all over the
world and can be used by international broadcasters. At present these are
the only wavelengths which provide listeners with direct reception over long
distances. For this reason, short wave frequencies are not only used by
radio stations, but also by other users such as amateur radio enthusiasts,
shipping, aircraft and radio navigation systems.
