Shortwave radio is radio transmission using shortwave (SW) radio frequencies. There is no official definition of the band, but the range always includes all of the high frequency band (HF), which extends from 3 to 30 MHz (100 to 10 metres); above the medium frequency band (MF), to the bottom of the VHF band.

Specialized interests of shortwave listeners may include listening for shortwave utility, or “ute”, transmissions such as shipping, sailing, naval, aviation, or military signals, listening for intelligence signals (numbers stations), or tuning in amateur radio stations.

The term AM is commonly used to cover both Medium Wave (MW) and Long Wave (LW). All AM radio stations broadcast in mono.
Read moreWhat FM LW and MW stand for in terms of radio communications?
This type of modulation is used by broadcasters in three frequency bands: medium frequency (MF, also known as medium wave: MW); low frequency (LF, also known as long wave : LW), and high frequency (HF, also known as short wave: SW). The term AM is often used to refer to the medium frequency band (see MF below).
Read moreIs shortwave AM or FM?
It’s called shortwave because, quite literally, the waves emitted are short as opposed to long wave and medium wave, used by AM radio , and wideband VHF (very high frequency) used by FM radio. These short waves can travel thousands of miles across the globe, so shortwave radio is, by nature, international.
