What
Is Shortwave Radio?
Shortwave radio is a reference name given to
radio frequencies in the range between 3 and 30
MHz. These frequencies have a characteristic
ability to "propagate" for long distances,
making possible such worldwide communications as
international broadcasting and coordination of
long-distance shipping.
Why
Listen To Shortwave Radio?
To Listen
In To Our Earth Community
Shortwave radio listening is a way to listen
into people of the world; during their everyday
work, international politics, and commerce.
Shortwave Radio broadcasts are available around
the world at various times of the day and night.
Shortwave broadcasters offer information,
programming, and propaganda from different
nations, cultures, and groups located around the
world.
Many shortwave
broadcasters present a part of their programming
at some point of the day for English speaking
listeners. Shortwave broadcasts has been a way
for countries to get their individual views out
to a massive public, so their individual sides
also have their say. Many broadcasters just
broadcast news, information, and cultural
programming that allows worldwide listeners a
peak into their local culture, music, and
traditions.
Here at
Casanova?s, we have enjoyed listening to
shortwave broadcasts for over 50 years. And have
offered some of the finest listening equipment
made in the world. Today we offer world-class
equipment with the latest in technology and user
friendly value.
I listen to the
BBC World Service programming, which is
available via many broadcast feeds into North
America and available around the world. The BBC
World Service provides me with important world
news with a view point from outside the USA; a
view on world news from a different perspective
outside the American news media industry. I
listen to this service and others while
traveling abroad to keep in tuned with global
life.
Tune into your
world!

When Is A
Good Time For Reception?
In
general, lower frequencies, below 9000 kHz, are
better received at night and for a few hours
surrounding dawn and dusk. Higher frequencies,
13000kHz and up, are better received during the
day.
The
frequencies in between are transitional, with
reception being possible at most times. In
practice, these guidelines are not absolute,
with reception on high frequencies being
possible at night, and lower frequencies can
provide decent medium-distance reception during
the day. Additionally, these numbers can
change slightly with the changing of the sunspot
cycle, which affects the ionization of the upper
atmosphere, and hence the propagation of
shortwave signals. In times of lower
sunspot activity, as is the case in 1995-96,
higher frequencies are generally less useful
than lower frequencies, and the range of
frequencies used at any given time of day is
generally shifted slightly downward.
This information subject
to change without notice.
