OPTIMIZING SHORTWAVE RECEPTION

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.
