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, frequencies above 13 MHz are usually
best.
At night, frequencies below 13 MHz are usually best.
Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range
may be good.
Getting very close to a window and holding the radio
improves shortwave reception.
