block shortwave signals, it may be best to hold the radio in your
hands and get very close to a window or use an external antenna
mounted next to the window or outside.

GETTING CLOSE TO A WINDOW
Getting close to a window may substantially improve reception.
Shortwave signals penetrate single-level wood frame buildings easi-
est, while concrete and brick buildings, multi-story and metal roofed
structures often block signals. In such situations, position the radio
as close to a window as possible. Holding it may also help. Use an
external antenna if necessary.
SHORTWAVE ANTENNAS
An external shortwave antenna, especially when mounted outside,
can greatly enhance shortwave reception. Some radios are equipped
with special antenna sockets. Eton Corporation does not manufac-
ture or sell shortwave antennas, however, there are many excellent
models available. A web search such as 'shortwave antennas' will
result in many sources for such products.
