IS THERE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
PROGRAMMING?
Yes! Many major international broadcasters incorporate
English programming.
WHAT IS THE PROGRAM CONTENT LIKE?
This can vary considerably from country to country; however,
programming usually consists of world news, local news from
the country of origin, news commentary, interview programs,
cultrally oriented programs, music oriented programs and even
political propoganda.
ARE THE SIGNALS CLEAR?
Often, but not always. Today's technology has greatly
minimized the fading, static and interference that are
natural aspects of international broadcast listening.
CAN I HEAR A SPECIFIC COUNTRY?
Yes, if that country is transmitting its signal specifically for
listening in your part of the world. Otherwise, it may range
from good to impossible.
IF A COUNTRY IS NOT TRANSMITTING
ITS SIGNAL SPECIFICALLY FOR
RECEPTION IN NORTH AMERICA, IS
THERE ANY CHANCE OF RECEIVING IT?
Yes, with detailed research into broadcast time and frequency and
patience, it is possible, but never guaranteed. A professionally
engineered outdoor antenna can make a difference.
WHAT ELSE CAN AND CANNOT BE
HEARD ON SHORTWAVE?
You can hear long distance two-way marine, aviation and
amateur radio (ham). To receive such communications, an
advanced shortwave receiver with single sideband (SSB)
capability must be used. The more advanced Grundig
radios can do this. Local VHF/UHF air traffic, police, fire,
ambulance and weather services cannot be heard. For
these, use a VHF/UHF scanner.
