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.
Read moreWhat does MW radio mean?
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 moreWhat is LW on a radio?
In radio, longwave, long wave or long-wave, and commonly abbreviated LW, refers to parts of the radio spectrum with wavelengths longer than what was originally called the medium-wave broadcasting band .
Read moreWhat does MW mean on my radio?
Medium wave (MW) is the part of the medium frequency (MF) radio band used mainly for AM radio broadcasting.
Read moreIs FM and MW the same?
Medium wave (MW) signals are transmitted using amplitude modulation (AM) and the terms are used interchangeably . FM signals are mostly transmitted in the very high frequency (VHF) or ultra high frequency (UHF) bands and are used for voice (radio) as well as video (TV) broadcasting.
