OPTIMIZING SHORTWAVE RECEPTION

Shortwave enables listening to broadcasts over vast distances includ-
ing 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.
