Short wave radio reception
3
Your World Receiver can receive signals in a number of wavebands. FM and MW stations are always set at the same position on the tuning scale because they are broadcast at fixed wavelengths and frequencies.
Due to atmospheric conditions, short wave stations must frequently be broadcast on different wavelengths. Most short wave bands are available all over the world and can be used by international broadcasters. At present these are the only wavelengths which provide listeners with direct reception over long distances. For this reason, short wave frequencies are not only used by radio stations, but also by other users such as amateur radio enthusiasts, shipping, aircraft and radio navigation systems.
If you want to listen to a particular SW station, you need to know the precise frequency and wavelength. Many short wave stations will send you broadcasting schedules which give you the information you need. You can also download the information from the Internet.
