OPTIMIZING SHORTWAVE RECEPTION
Shortwave enables listening to broadcasts over vast distances
including other countries and continents. The following informa-
tion 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.
