DAY BANDS AND NIGHT BANDS –

THE DIFFERENCE IS IMPORTANT

Because shortwave signals depend on such factors as the sun, the ionosphere and interaction with the earth itself, signals cannot be heard on all bands throughout the day. Some bands are best during the daylight hours, and some are best at night. In general, the bands with frequencies below 13 MHz (13000 KHz) are better at night and the bands with frequencies above 13 MHz (13000 KHz) are best during the day. Listed below are the characteristics of the major shortwave bands. Follow these guidelines for best listening results. How to get into a specific band will vary from one radio to another.
