	Shortwave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shortwave frequencies are capable of reaching the other side of the planet because they can be refracted by the ionosphere.
		Shortwave transmitting centers often use specialized antenna designs to concentrate radio energy on a bearing aimed at the target area.
		John Cage employed shortwave radios as live instruments in a number of pieces, and other musicians have sampled broadcasts, used tape loops of broadcasts, or drawn inspiration from the unusual sounds on some frequencies.

		Shortwave radio operates between the frequencies of 1700 kHz and 30 MHz (30,000 kHz) and got its name because when it first began to be used it had shorter wavelengths than the frequencies previously in use.
		Some frequencies of shortwave are capable of reaching the other side of the planet by bouncing a signal off the ionosphere.
		The future of shortwave radio is threatened by the uprise of power line communication (PLC), where a data stream is transmitted over unshielded power lines.

		The ramp-up of digital shortwave broadcasting using Digital Radio Mondiale is giving some international broadcasters pause in their rush to completely dismantle their shortwave broadcast outlets.
		The primary benefit of DSP hardware in shortwave receivers is the ability to tailor the bandwidth of the receiver to current reception conditions and to the type of signal being listened to.
		The standard shortwave receiving antenna is the dipole antenna which can be readily purchased or made by hand from a roll of wire and a couple of insulators.

		Shortwave is a broadcast frequency range that allows stations’ signals to be heard over vast distances, usually thousands of miles.
		Shortwave is similar and the shortwave bands have names like 25 meters, 31 meters, 49 meters, etc. These are abbreviated 25m, 31m and 49m.
		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.

		Shortwave radio listening is a hobby practiced by millions across the globe.
		Shortwave radios (also known as receivers) allow for the reception of possibly hundreds of radio station transmissions from all over the world.
		Because shortwave transmission operates off waves reflected from the earth's ionosphere (which has to do with activity on the sun), shortwave channels are not always stable.

	About Shortwave Radio
		Shortwave radio (or HF as the "Old Timers" sometimes call it) is any transmission between the frequencies of 1700 Kilohertz (Khz) or 1.7 Megahertz (Mhz) and 30 Mhz.
		A shortwave receiving antenna however is very inexpensive, usually no more than a 30 foot piece of wire tied to a tree or even thrown onto a roof.
		However, certain segments of the shortwave bands are referred to in terms of "meter bands" as a convenient form of shorthand.

	Introduction to Shortwave Listening
		Shortwave listening (abbreviated SWLing) is tuning for stations located on shortwave frequencies, usually thought of as those from 1700 kHz (the upper limit of the AM broadcasting band) to 30 MHz (the lower limit of the tuning range of most scanner radio).
		Shortwave reception is heavily influenced by solar activity as indicated by the number of sunspots visible on the Sun.
		Many shortwave stations welcome correspondence from listeners, especially reports on how well the station is being received and comments on their programming.

	Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL and High Frequency Radio)
		Shortwave Radio is similar to the local AM Broadcast Band on Mediumwave (MW) that you can hear on a regular "AM Radio" receiver, except that shortwave signals travel globally, depending on the time of day, time of year, and space weather conditions.
		Ontheshortwaves.com is devoted primarily to the history of shortwave broadcasting and the shortwave broadcast DX hobby.
		The many aspects of shortwave listening are covered, from listening to major broadcasters such as the BBC to such specialties as trying to hear distant stations, "pirate" broadcasters, and so on.

	Comparing and Selecting Shortwave Radios
		Shortwave radios can in general be distinguished from and compared to each other based on six primary characteristics:
		Basic shortwave radios may only offer replaceable batteries as an option; desktop or home units generally also offer at lease a DC power jack to allow it to be powered from an adapter, and "emergency" radios sometimes offer a built-in generator, which allows you to power the radio via a hand crank.
		Shortwave radios will have at least a telescoping rod antenna, and many will also have a built-in antenna.

		Cunningham plans to extend her artistic efforts beyond mere music and composition, augmenting Shortwave with a "project house" that would enable her to enhance the multimedia experience of her music by including film, photography, and Web design.
		She hopes to take Shortwave on tour with a full band-noting that it would take roughly 15 musicians to effectively pull the sound together to perform without the aid of previously recorded material.
		Still, Cunningham's recorded creativity flourishes through Shortwave, bringing bits and pieces of well-designed sounds metaphysically and given to the world in a beautifully packaged jewel case.

	SHORTWAVE RECEIVERS
		Shortwave is another name for high frequency (HF), which is the portion of the frequency spectrum between 3 and 30 MHz.
		While CB radio has, thankfully, all but disappeared, shortwave has experienced a revival in recent years because of the introduction of digital technology, which has the ability to overcome the disadvantages of HF reception, such as signal fading, poor sound quality, low channel bandwidth, and susceptibility to noise generated from human and natural activity.
		Shortwave is also ideal for people in areas not covered by broadcast signals.
