Consult your owner’s manual for instruction on how to access the bands on your radio or call Etón Corporation if it’s not clear to you.

SUNSET AND SUNRISE –

OFTEN THE VERY BEST TIME TO LISTEN

We are often asked whether there is a truly best time for listening to shortwave, when signals are strongest and clearest. Often, this is a window of hours right around sunset and sunrise. Sometimes it’s a two-hour window, other times three or four hours. Experiment to determine when it’s best in your area.

DAYTIME LISTENING

Shortwave listening is generally at its poorest during the daylight hours of about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The major reason for this is that the broadcasters are not transmitting to North America at this time, assuming that we are all either at work or at school and are not able to listen during the day. If you want to try daytime listening, use the guidelines below. Typically, daytime shortwave tends to be better in Eastern North America than in Western North America. The best daytime bands are shown in BOLD print in the table below.
