Shortwave Radio

Shortwave radio operates between the frequencies of 3,000 kHz (3.000 MHz) and 30,000 kHz (30.000 MHz) and came to be referred to as such in the early days of radio because the wavelengths associated with this frequency range were shorter than the long wave lengths widely in use at that time. An alternate name is HF or high frequency radio. Short wavelengths are associated with high frequencies because there is an inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength. (From the Wikipedia).

Shortwave radio can be heard for many miles away from the broadcasting station. It’s possible to hear shortwave broadcasts in the United States from Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and Africa.
